Multi account containers (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been using Firefox's container function for a while now and recently discovered the multi account container extension. What does this add over the built in containers? I've seen a lot of people say they need multi account containers but are disappointed that it's an extension so I'm curious what it adds.

There is no container option in new Firefox profile. It appears only after when you've installed Multi container extension. Firefox from Arch Linux repo.

It is there on a new profile in the fedora package. Maybe something fedora enables?

[–] WadamT@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

That can be possible. I remember seeing the option in a clean profile while using Ubuntu.

I don't see it on a new profile on macOS, so yeah, it's probably something Fedora is doing.

Ah, makes a ton of sense. I guess I assumed OP was a new user or something, but it seems they used the extension in the past.

I can confirm, I just created a new profile and there is no Container option anywhere. Thanks!
