Firefox multi account containers are amazing. For example : multiple o365 accounts, fb segregation, multiple Google accounts.... Amazing feature, underrated.
Pretty useful. Something I learned at some point was that you can actually combine this with Wireguard: If you dig into the extension, there's a feature that lets you set a SOCKS5 proxy for a profile. You can then point it to a running Wireproxy to go from SOCKS5 to Wireguard. Could be handy.
* SOCKS5 proxy per container setting.
* More custom icons and colors for container.
Clumsy UI. It's useful (I use it) but its just not as simple as it could be.
Auto assigning a URL to a container is complicated. Opening and re-opening a URL in a container is complicated. Saving container state so you can re-open the same things is .. (you guessed it) complicated.

For someone that hasn't used Brave in a while - what's the difference between Brave profiles and profiles in other Chromium browsers?
There may be other Chromium-based browsers which do this, but none that I use: on launch the user is (optionally) prompted with a profile selection tool, with additional options to create a new profile or go into a guest session. I appreciate this because without it I often end up wondering why something isn't behaving properly, and after a moment of confusion then realize I'm in the wrong profile. It's not perfect,…

What you want is the Temporary Containers addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/temporary-con... It will let you open containers that trash cookies on close. You can also set certain URL's to always open in a tmp container which is useful for sites that only let you read x amount of article per month.
How is it different/better from incognito mode ?
Would be cool if each container could generate a unique browser fingerprint. Right now they are sharing the same fingerprint, which isn't great for privacy.
I feel resentful that the Temporary Containers extension isn't available on mobile Firefox. To me it would be as if adblocking extensions wouldn't be available. It's one thing of many that seems really different about mobile Firefox, to a point where the cynical part of me feels like mobile Firefox is being obsequious to advertisers or something for some reason in a way desktop is not.
