Review by matdodgson

This is exactly the extension I have been wanting to write for several years now but was too lazy. With this extension, we have an isolated browser session per tab (or group of tabs) with very little effort, and the tracking from those sessions die when you close the tab. This nullifies Google and Facebook's business model and sadly we'll never see this as a built in feature in any popular browser. Thanks so much to the developer of the extension!

    Works great! It'd be cool if there was a shortcut to convert temporary containers into permanent ones for when you create a new account that you want in a separate container.

    I love this addon and have been using it for 5 years now, but recently I noticed a weird issue: when I open a few links from my bookmarks in rapid succession, the tabs get stuck and I can't switch tabs anymore or do anything else. It doesn't happen when this addon is disabled.

    Fantastic add-in that I use daily for both personal and work-related needs.

    One of the best privacy addons I've installed in the last years

    Rest in peace @stoically. This is a wonderful piece of work. If any eager coders out there can lend a hand in forking this project, I and many others would greatly appreciate that. My use case is to set the isolation behaviour on middle click to "always" so you can continue browsing within a given container, while opening new tabs in new ones.

    Works great.

    Due to "helpful" changes in firefox around the end of 2023, you may want to set `browser.link.force_default_user_context_id_for_external_opens` to true in about:config . Doing this ensures that links opened from other applications doesn't end up in some existing temporary containers. Details here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1874599 .

    This is a must have and one of the main reasons I keep using Firefox.
    My only concern is that is has not been updated in a while, but other than that, it works great.

    Very nice extension, does exactly what it says, perfect for development.

    Wow, what a very well made extension with great customization options!

    First of all it does exactly what is says on the tin!

    And second, it has a huge amount of options. Like you can even choose a random color each time a temporary container opens *and* you can exclude colors that you already use with some other container! That is awesome.
