Apart from signing into multiple accounts or isolating pages under the same domain, is there any advantage to using Firefox containers from a security standpoint or do you think that Total Cookie Protection is sufficient for most use cases / threat models?

    I switched from containers to total cookie protection just for quality of life. It takes a lot less micromanagement of settings and still provides strong protection. I’ve not looked back since, and yes, I think it’s more than sufficient for most people.

      I went from temp containers with cookie auto delete to just containers and assuming total cookie protection is enabled and doing its thing. The temp containers would frequently mess important processes such as payments (different domain/container/new cookies/session)

      What’s total cookie protection?

      I just installed containers and doesn’t seem to take any micromanagement. You can set it to automatically open certain URLs in certain containers.
