Is there any privacy benifit to use containers now with the new isolations built into firefox? I'm using cookie autodelete + Containers, So now its either isolate and keep them or Isolate and delete them. I quite like this.


Containers aren't going to give you additional protection against third-party cookies with this feature. But, you still have other useful benefits like having different sessions open on the same websites using containers, or just grouping websites by forcing them into specific containers (Work/Personal/Random etc..).


I'm not the one who asked the question but am in the same position. All third-party content is off, I'm using a long-term container for stuff where I need to be logged, and temporary containers and no first-party cookies for everything else. I do have some bugs with the interaction of both so I'm happy if I can have the same think with stock Firefox


I use containers to maintain multiple logins for the same site. It's handy to log in to the analytics + hosting account etc all in one container.
