1. Set a domain to always open in a container
2. Click login with Google which redirects to another container
3. oAuth handshake is done which redirects to website 1
4. Handshake fails because of authorization_code mismatch
You could argue that you shouldn't be using oAuth if you care about privacy but it would be nice if it could be handled.
Multi-Account Containers paired with Container Proxy allows for some really cool setups. I especially like the options to use socks proxies. Hope they will add proper proxy support later.
> the options to use socks proxies I pair it with wireproxy [0]. This way you can assign any Wireguard-capable VPN for specific containers. It's extremely useful. [0] https://github.com/windtf/wireproxy

Bits don't weigh very much and fit in a convenient laptop shaped carrying case. It also has the advantage of working the way I expect when I want to do the things I use it to do. Do containers do that?
What I meant about configuration is that the onus is on you to manage all of that. I know some people love that level of control but most people it's a burden. Containers are part of your profile and move with you if you're using Firefox Sync. You don't have to copy or maintain multiple profiles or Sync accounts.
