- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13971035, 7 years agoWith a few ergonomics this could be the biggest development in web browser in 5+ years. It should really be a build in feature of firefox. It gives you a huge amount of control over your privacy and productivity.
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 4 out of 5by CodyTheFurry, 7 years agoThis addon is absolutely amazing and I use it every day to keep services separate like google and Twitter to prevent tracking. However, there are two things I wish it would do.
I frequently use more than one computer, often more than 3 a day and this plugin is missing a very important feature; Firefox account sync.
Secondly I find myself really wishing I could manually enter rules for what websites open in what containers, it is a bit tedious to do so right now.
Keep up the great work! :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14434741, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Vivin NL, 7 years agoIts Good, it helps me open my personal and professional gmail accounts in parallel in separate container without sign out or losing the session.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rafael Coleto, 7 years agoFuncional, porém faltam algumas funções para facilitar seu uso.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Th3s0s, 7 years agoVraiment utile on devrait pouvoir changer la politique de cookie pour chaque container.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Knight Yoshi, 7 years agoGreat extension. Good for keeping Facebook and Google from tracking everything.
However, if the extension is disabled and then re-enabled, for whatever reason, all containers are removed and reset to the default personal, work, banking, and shopping containers. This doesn't sync with anything and is beyond annoying. Containers are also not synced remotely either. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12838658, 7 years agoExcellent Feature, don't knwo if its there, but would be great to have a default homepage for each container
- Rated 4 out of 5by Nick, 7 years agoThis seems like a nice tool. I can't really tell if it's working as described and keeping cookies and tracking contained within different work flows. It's hard to know exactly. But the tool works well, and it seems that account logins are isolated withing a container.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Exec, 7 years agoThis has great potential! Sadly it outright refuses to work in private browsing mode. I wish it also had a few more customization options too. Works perfectly on normal windows!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14372756, 7 years agoI would love to have a shortcut eg. Ctrl+G to open a menu that lets me select the group for the new tab.
- Rated 4 out of 5by 浅川, 7 years agoContainers is very useful, but I think there are two point inconveniet:
1. "Sites assigned to a Container" does not support match patterns (*), so you can't add *.example.com and you have to add subdomains one by one : (
2. The page "about:preferences#containers" is useless…… - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14362830, 7 years agofantstic does the job well and the tabs are neatly arranged in one large window
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14350839, 7 years agoSuper module. Il manque quand même la possibilité de paramétrer plus, comme une page de paramètre plus poussée et des listes public permettant le compartimentage des GAFAM et autres.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12470224, 7 years agoGreat extension. Highly recommended. Another tool in the privacy tool belt.
- Rated 4 out of 5by k2s, 7 years agoHas big potential, but assignments need improvement. at least sync to Firefox Sync, support for top domains and possibility to edit assignments as text file.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Anup Dhakal, 7 years agoAs a developer, I have found for myself a new use case for containers. I make different containers (eg. dev1, dev2, etc.) and use them to maintain different user sessions in each container while I'm testing my app.
Only thing that is missing (I think) is a quicker way to open certain containers, for example open all tabs in a bookmark group (eg. work related bookmark group) into a particular type of container (eg. work container) - Rated 4 out of 5by T_O_N_M_O_Y, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14334713, 7 years agoThis addon is great! It should be included into Firefox.
And as repeated by alot of people already: It would be so much better if the container settings were Synced between devices... Or at least give us a way to import/export them easily
But it's definitely the biggest reason for me to use firefox, after many years of Chrome - Rated 4 out of 5by Jon Morby, 7 years agoHaving recently moved to Firefox from Chrome (since Google messed with the multi personality settings) I was overjoyed when I saw this plugin.
It seems to do exactly what it says on the tin .. the only downside I can find so far is that it doesn't seem to sync between machines, so all the preferences need to be manually copied from laptop to desktop / etc .. which is a bummer.
Would be 5 stars if only the profiles sync'd along with everything else through Firefox Sync - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14331028, 7 years ago
