I've been using Firefox since forever. It had its downs, but generally I'm happy with it. And with Multi account containers they've made sure I stay for life, it saves so much time.

How do multi-account containers differ from Chrome profiles?

[–] theolodger@feddit.uk 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Being able to have different containers in the same window?

Plus you can make certain sites always automatically open in their designated container, even if you followed a link. You can keep sites know for spying away from your logged in identity. You can have your banking and other important sites in another container for extra defense in depth.

Thanks. Not something I'd want to do (I like my work and personal tabs in totally separate windows) but obviously that's just personal preference.

It's pretty useful at work because I can separate the about riddled with sales trackers from asking for quotes from my "how do I do X" profile. It can change the results a fair bit. On one I'll get tons of Enterprise professional services, the other recommends a lot of FOSS results.

When did they implement the containers?

I tried to use Firefox for work but I had to log into multiple AWS accounts at the same time, which I didn’t think was possible. It’s easy with profiles in the chromium browsers, trying to remember if I tried it in Firefox now

It's easier in Firefox with containers. You can use multiple aws accounts on the same profile but different containers. I've tried to migrate to blink based browsers for various reasons, but this is what keeps me coming back to Firefox!

Firefox even has tab sandboxes now. So you can even run personal aws on one tab and business aws in another. They will have their own sandboxes so won't collide.
