What does HackerNews think of multi-account-containers?

Those container extensions are just the "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" extension developed by Mozilla with some default settings for Facebook and Google.

I am not sure if that'll be the case. The Multi Account Container (https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers) seems like it's dead. No new commits since end of March and according to https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3..., it's only going to get bug fixes and maintenance patches. No new development.

I have a feeling that they are relying on extension developers to add features/functionality.

I believe the parent comment is referring to multi-account-containers [1], which is a general implementation.

This Facebook extension is a reactionary Facebook-specific adaptation of that extension. But it is still useful for many users since it doesn't require any user interaction.

I think multi-account-containers is more convenient than profiles since it provides a single interface to manage the containers and browser settings are shared, but I am actually using profiles on Firefox because the extension doesn't seem to support the "Never remember history" browser option.

Please check and file these bugs here: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers – I assume you are using this extension?

I agree this would be awesome, in the meantime they have an extension that gets you most of the way there: push button get new tab in a new container.

Or use the multi-account container addon: Which will get you a new container, in a new tab with 1 click.
