- Rated 5 out of 5by williamn, 5 years agoreally useful if you work with multiple "profile", also this extension is really light. I see less 1GB RAM when using this compare to when I use B**ve browser with multiple profiles.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15776659, 5 years agoThis add-on is a good idea and I really want to use it. But there's a few things that keep it down for me
1) Lack of wildcard subdomain support is a killer. I read the issue on the subject and it seems there's privacy concerns with that. But the fact is that all the big sites you'd really want to confine to a container use subdomains constantly and often so it makes it frustratingly difficult to actually confine a site like google to its own container.
2) I could probably live with #1 if there was a way to tell the extension to open the current site in a specified container in the future. Right now it appears you have to copy the url, use the extension to make a tab in the desired container, revisit the site and then tell it to stay there. That's a whole lot of steps for something you're going to have to do all the time without wildcard subdomain support.
3) Once you're in a container, all navigation done from websites in that container remain in that container. So for instance, if I put google in a container and then click a link the search result, that link opens in the same container. This completely undermines the point for me, I can't actually use this to keep a site from tracking me unless I go put every single site on the internet in its own box manually. That's entirely too much effort, especially given the difficulty of actually putting a site in its own container (see #2)
I'm giving this 3 stars and will probably keep using it because it is still convenient as a multi-session tool. Going to the same site in multiple sessions is something I have to do for work a lot so it is handy for that. But I'm hoping it evolves because it could be quite a lot more if they made it easier to just completely containerize the sites of your choice. - Rated 5 out of 5by eioua, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by swirastlynn, 5 years agoI'd love it to be developed. I yearn for shortcuts for "Hide/Show container" and "adding a page to a container". This way thousands who would use them, don't need to set up hotkeys on every new machine with more advanced customization. We forget those customizations between installs and have to dig them up every time.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14444268, 5 years agoQuintessential add-on for me up there with Ublock Origin. As a few users have noted having a keyboard shortcut to create a new tab with the same container would be super useful (rather than pressing and holding on the +. Otherwise amazing for privacy and logging into personal/work/university outlook accounts.
- Rated 4 out of 5by t., 5 years agoIt would be very convenient to be able to open tabs that have a default container in OTHER containers if desired (currently it reopens in the same container). Other than that, a very useful extension.

- Rated 4 out of 5by dstuessy, 5 years agoGreat feature. Only missing a keyboard shortcut to open a new tab in current container. If this already exists, it needs to be documented better. Otherwise, I'm probably just slow.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Livarkhal, 5 years agoJe découvre tout juste cet ad-on qui est une excellente découverte.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Raphaël B, 5 years agoIt seems great on the paper, but lot of websites are unable to load. This includes Faebook, Messenger Linkedin, Outlook mails, etc..
- Rated 4 out of 5by alexandradeas, 5 years agoA great addition, it allows me to use the same browser for different clients; it's really made my life much easier when working. One addition I'd like to see is greater control over which container a page starts in, instead of just setting a domain name to always open in one container it'd be nice to be able to also provide subdomains/url matchers eg. slack.com/123 would open in one container but slack.com/456 would open in another
