Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 17647243, a year agoI've been testing this extension out for a few weeks and frankly I'm fed up.
The idea is good but it's just not user friendly nor intuitive.
First off it's unclear whether or not every site in the same container can 'talk' to each other. For example: If I open a Shopping container on Amazon, then another Shopping container for Ebay, can the 2 sites share information with each other and profile me?
I tried looking for this question and answer online but came up empty handed. So to be on the safe side one would have to make a separate container for EVERY site they want to keep isolated. That includes separating domains from sub domains.
Second: Sites that I have assigned to containers don't automatically open in said containers. Navigating to the site via the address bar produces a message asking how I want to open the site. Selecting the "Remember my decision for this site" option does nothing, but perhaps that is due to my Firefox settings or other extensions that block cookies and trackers. You would think though that Firefox would make this extension compatible with their built in privacy options.
Third: It takes multiple steps/clicks to remove a site you accidentally add to a container. For me the "Manage Extension" button is cut off (regardless of how zoomed in or not I am) so it took me even longer than others probably to figure it out.
Many people seem to love this extension but frankly there's got to be a better, more hands off approach to stopping sites from tracking and profiling you. If you aren't looking to have every domain and sub domain separate maybe try it, but I will be looking at other options.

Parabéns ao Firefox. - Rated 1 out of 5by Chris, a day agoThis is technically useless. I have the joice between the plague or cholera.
Lemme explain why.
If i want every website seperated i have to setup everything manually.
i dont want an addon becomes part of my bucketlist. - Rated 5 out of 5by FFuser23, a day agoBeen using multi-account containers for a few years now. Don't know what I'd do without it now.
One feature I wish they would add is to be able to delete cookies, etc. by container leaving other containers alone. - Rated 4 out of 5by Tohid, 2 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Edwin, 9 days agoWorks great in general. If you are using containers combined with proxies or VPN, be advised that Service Workers ignore container settings. Hence, you might be generating traffice outside of the proxy/VPN you think you are using.
