I use it to split my work and my personal GitHub accounts!

I'm finding more and more that i want to move to a Chrome fork (Brave) but TreeStyleTabs (Sidebery) keeps me with FF.
I stay with Firefox for a lot of reasons, but the main one is this - I am so used to TreeStyleTabs I can't imagine going with anything else. Do any other browsers support something similar?

The two main things I notice: Some websites basically crash the computer on Firefox but run fine on Safari. Mostly JS heavy sites. The energy usage of Firefox is way higher than Safari, which in turns makes my fans spin a lot harder. Basically some sites will peg the CPU and hit max fan speed, but the same site just sips energy on Safari. Video streaming is a prime example of this. I can use twitch on Safari and it u…
> Some websites basically crash the computer What does "crash the computer" mean? Do you get the MacOS equivalent of a BSOD?

What I've been doing was to set up a browser profile (local) for each main context. If I have a set of work accounts (google, github, etc.), I have a 'work' profile for it. This isolates all cookies related to 'work' at once, as well as bookmarks, saved tabs, extensions, and settings. It's a total context switcher.
Profiles definitely have the basic functionality, but I like to keep all my extensions the same across my containers, and it's also easy to set up rules such that a certain site will always open in a certain container. You don't have to think about it at all.
I use containers liberally also

A few others: - Temporary Containers[0] - Google Container[1] - Google Container w/ Integrations (YouTube, AdTech, Apps, etc)[2] - Reddit Container[3] There are a few others[4] as well, but I've found the Temporary Containers solves the 80%. -- [0] - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...

Do not use Temporary Containers. This extension to Multi-Account Containers looks great at first -- its Automatic mode spins up a new container each time you open a new tab, then switches that tab to an existing container, should one be associated with the TLD you visit. The problem is that Temporary Containers does not delete these temporary containers. They accumulate in the MAC containers list. There is no way to…
At least this way yo won't end up with unusable FF because of the thousands of undeletable temporary containers.
I use the 'Containerise' plugin along with the following configuration (which I am constantly tweaking) to keep the big tech companies isolated from each other and the rest of the web. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containerise/ I'm also increasingly using it to keep their various properties isolated from each other (eg. keeping Bing separate from the rest of Microsoft) to reduce tracking even furthe…
This add-on has the same problem as Temporary containers. If you want to isolate Facebook and click a link to Spotify it will open Spotify in the Facebook container :( So far only the Google/FB container add-ons do this right.
I've been using containers on Firefox for a long time now. And I love it. But my biggest issue is Firefox performance on MacOS. The only reason it's not my primary browser is because Safari is just so much better. What I wonder is, is this just me, or does everyone have this problem?
I've literally never had someone say Safari is better. Chromium, sure...but Safari? It's like the IE of the browser world these days.
I use Chrome for Google apps. Gmail, GCal, etc.
I use Firefox for work and isolation. So I use containers to keep all my AWS logins/consoles separate, I use it for Github, I use it for my own internal apps and dev (and all the dev tools). If for some reason I need to do Facebook or Insta I do it in FF, and it's isolated into its own container.
Firefox is also my default browser, so if I click a link in another app, it'll open in a container in Firefox.
And when I finally fall asleep, I dream of internet without the monsters.
I wish we have the same for Android apps as well. I don't want random Apps to have full access to my storage instead it can have it's own space.
