#4We use different AWS accounts for different purposes at work. It would be an extreme productivity loss if I had to go back to using something other than Firefox's containers.

#6I basically have different applications of chrome, each with a different profile. They wacht have a different app icon, browser color, and extensions.
It helps me focus a lot to have a different application (cmd-tab entry) for dev, media, general browsing.
Social media and other time traps are blocked on my general and dev browser.
Works very well I have to say. It copies Chrome using clonefiles (CoW on apfs) to save space.
The only thing is that updating goes through the main browser (automatic updates are buggy in this case). And I have to codesign when there’s an update, but the scripts take care of that.

#8Can anyone clarify what this provides compared to the built-in container support in Firefox? On stock Firefox, it appears that I can do everything listed in the documentation above, with the exception that this extension appears to allow you to configure a domain to automatically open in a given container. Is that the only difference?

#10Very useful if you have multiple Outlook accounts (e.g. school, work, personal), because outlook.com doesn't allow you to switch between accounts without logging out and back in.
