by Firefox user 15776659, 6 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 teuncm, 5 days agoInsane productivity booster. No more switching between browsers or Incognito juggling to change user contexts. My only feature request is to be able to reorder the containers in the "manage containers" menu :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by lola_s, a month agoSeit Jahren gerne in Verwendung. Erlaubt nicht nur die Trennung von Arbeitsbereichen, sondern auch Anmeldung mit unterschiedlichen Accounts je nach Umgebung. Perfekt!
- Rated 5 out of 5by cbohorquezm, a month agoKudos to the way this Multi-Account Container extension plays together with the now integrated Container functionality in Firefox. It seamlessly integrated with the containers I created before I installed it! Genius. I want the extension for the automatic "Always open in..." functionality. Keep it up.
