Rated 4 out of 5

Tracking, sessions, and cookies are completely prevalent on the web in 2018. Every site uses cookies, and every other site has a login. Container tabs give you control over that by allowing you to run a different browser session in each container. You can
- prevent tracking by isolating Facebook, Google, and company in their own containers
- Easily sign into many accounts at once
- Use sites while both signed in and out of them
- organize your tabs with colors
All of this is way more convenient than browser profiles because you keep your bookmarks, history, and settings across each container tab.
There are a few downsides to this addon that keeps it being a full 5 stars.
- Your settings don't sync between browsers
- Setting up the containers is annoying
- Limited options for container tab colors and icons
- when other applications open sites in your browsers it doesn't work very well with the containers
- No central place to see all of the sites you have chosen to open in a container

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19611096, 12 days agoIt is a must have extension. I primary use it during development where I need different states of cookies and logins.
The only thing I'm missing is to be able to open a URL in a specific container e.g. by specifying a protocol prefix in a href (or whatever data-x-target="{container name}").
I can not assign a full domain as I need to view the same domain in different configurations, but I'd like to access them by just clicking on my "bookmark" link - My site (Beta-2), My site (Alpha).. etc... - Rated 4 out of 5by gcharikiopoulos, 13 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Clever, 16 days agoI only wish that we could assign an entire bookmarks folder to open in a specific container. Love it and a must have extension.

- Rated 2 out of 5by fulgur, 17 days agoI still don't understand why you cant aloow the whole website address as *.example.com as it is a hassle to connect from some website with peculiar login or one cant still modify or add manually any url one would like ?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alb, 17 days agoOttima. Ha qualche problema con alcuni siti.. Ad esempio GitHub. Se assegno il contenitore a GitHub e poi apro codespace in un repository si crea un loop strano e non riesco ad usare codespace..

- Rated 5 out of 5by User, 20 days agoNot a flawless, but setup when you have different Google accounts on different sites seems possible and works.
Does have separate one specific container cleanup button out of the box, which is the very point of this extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by савелий, 21 days ago
