What's the use-case for Firefox containers? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Or what do you use them for? Isn't it now quite easy for websites to track outside of just cookies?

Although google happily lets you log into more than one account from the same browser, microsoft doesn't let you.

I used to, and still do use profiles, which are basically entirely seperate instances of firefox for each main account.

Back when I tried containers, they were really frustrating, because they would always ask which container I wanted a tab in. But that was a while ago, and they've probably fixed my annoyances so I will try them again sometime.

I use simple tab groups on firefox, it allows you to set a default container to tabs in each group, so its very convenient to manage.
