What commenters say

  • Some users find Firefox's Multi-Account Containers to be a crucial feature for productivity, especially when managing multiple AWS accounts.
  • Brave's profiles are seen as a viable alternative to Firefox's containers, although they may not offer the same level of functionality.
  • The use of separate profiles or containers in browsers like Chrome can be an effective way to keep accounts separate, but may not be as convenient as Firefox's containers.
  • The implementation of container features in browsers can be buggy and frustrating to use, with issues such as syncing and default container settings.
  • Some users prefer open-source browsers like Firefox over proprietary ones, citing concerns about marketing and data privacy.
  • The ability to automatically switch between containers or profiles based on domain or other factors is seen as a desirable feature.
  • The use of extensions, such as Temporary Containers, can enhance the functionality of browser containers and provide more flexibility.
  • There are limitations to using containers, such as the inability to use multiple private browsing modes simultaneously.
