Firefox is my favorite web browser by far and there’s many reasons for that. Firefox has been bringing the Privacy & Security Fire recently and I previously made a video about the 7 Reasons why Firefox is the web browser that I choose. At the top of that list is the most powerful and useful feature in Firefox, for me at least, and this feature puts Firefox in a realm all by itself. That feature is Multi-Account Containers (or Container Tabs) and it changes the workflow of web browsing so significantly that it may be enough on its own to convince some to switch to Firefox.
Multi-Account Containers is an extension that lets you create Containerized sessions inside of Firefox with separated sets of cookies which allows you to use the web with multiple identities or accounts at the same time. This video explains what they are, how to create them and how to use them as well as some advanced tips.

Yes!!! This was such an awesome video! Thank you for taking the time to create and post this. This helped me visually understand this concept and implement it in my workflow.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I installed this add-on not long after seeing it mentioned either on Destination Linux or This Week in Linux (not sure which one). Facebook container extension is another valuable addition - it’s surprising how often the little fence indicator pops up altering you to Facebook tracking.
Thanks for the video
I was under the impression that Firefox containers were the same thing or next generation of the Firefox Facebook container.
You guys wait for the bookmarks video, he’s going to blow your mind. I have yet to recover.
