Brave's latest browser release offers Containers for better and easier workflow
brave.comGreat to see this feature being added to other browsers. I use the Firefox Multi-Account Containers, Temporary Containers, and Containerize extensions to manage my browsing and it's (mostly) a very nice experience. There are some rough edges for certain tasks, but I've not had any desire to go back to containerless browsing for a few years now.
For me, they are completely essential and we're the killer feature that kept me on Firefox. That, and I never liked Chrome anyway.
> the killer feature that kept me on Firefox
precisely, I do occasionally have to switch browsers which is incredibly frustrating but that's more of an indictment of the current state of the web than FF in my mind
Same. I often describe it as a killer feature when people ask me "why firefox?" It surprises me that so many people don't even know they are a thing!
How do you use them differently than you would have used profiles?
I can:
- Right-click and re-open a tab in a different container
- Automatically switch to a container for certain domains
- Organise tabs of different containers amongst each other (eg. same site opened in different containers next to each other)
- Not clutter my window manager just to separate browsing data
