I've been using this for a few months now and I love it. Along side temporary containers[1] and tridactyl[2] which gives - auto containerization based on url match - keyboard driven way to open new pages in a specific container FF transforms into a powerful browser OS running applications with hard boundaries. The only UX issue (which admittedly could be because I have changed the theme to be minimal by hacking userC…

whats a use case for temporary containers? Throwaway email? Does the called on server think you're a first time visitor each container?

Yeah, its a good way to circumvent tracking / fingerprinting mechanisms. Anonymization primitive.

But the primary usecase for me is to access a rarely used account temporarily without having to logout and login from the main account (AWS, Cloudflare, Google, etc).

Yes, and I'd like to use more than one simultaneously.

Hi! Sorry to post here, but I couldn't find any way to contact you. You wrote here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30301639 that you set up et and cloudflare tunnel. Can you tell me how? It doesn't work for me, et doesn't see an open port on the server.

Well I didn't mention Cloudflare Tunnel but to answer your question per https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1128ce9/cloudfl...

1. Eternal Terminal does not support ssh_config ProxyCommand, so both tunnels must be TCP.

2. Cloudflare Tunnel TCP proxies through cloudflared running locally on the client. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/application...

  #~/.ssh/config
  Host et.example.com
    Hostname 127.0.0.1
    Port 10022

  cloudflared access tcp --hostname ssh.example.com --url localhost:10022 &
  cloudflared access tcp --hostname et.example.com --url localhost:12022 &
  et et.example.com:12022

The following command must be run once to authenticate:

  cloudflared tunnel login

Thank you! I already gave up and just ssh to the server, but thanks for your comment. At least I figured out how the forwarding works.

For what it’s worth, Safari’s incognito mode works exactly how you described it — separate session for each incognito tab/window.

So you can't open two tabs for the same site and share the session between them?

Correct, not in the private browsing mode.
