I have a few others installed that have already been mentioned plenty of times like SponsorBlock, uBlockOrigin. Not using an ad filter these days is like fucking a stranger without a condom, you’re just asking for super syphilis.
I honestly didn’t even notice that! Disabled the extension and tested things out, it looks like there’s no automatic “open this website in container X” option without using the extension. If I’m wrong I must have missed it. That’s another main part of my workflow, basically have sharepoint sites for the various 365 accounts (one for the company I work for, others for clients), that way it always uses the correct account for each instance as an example.
Containers are like single-website sandboxes instead of regular tabs. You can have a separate container for Facebook, for example. You can let it have the cookies it wants, but it can’t access anything outside of that container. So to facebook, it looks like they’re the only site you ever visit.
- Mutli-Account Containers add another capability: different cookies for the same site in different containers, like being logged to two different accounts on one site in different containers - and that is saved between sessions.
There’s also DeArrow by the same developer that made SponsorBlock. It converts clickbait titles and thumbnails to be descriptive rather than being clickbaity and sensational.
I know I could have gone that path, but I’m a techie at heart who loves pushing buttons, sometimes having to get myself out of a mess I created.
It’s a hobby to self host things for me. Given that I host it in a docker container also means I’m yet to break it.
I think the self host option also gives you a few more features than the free bitwarden official host option?
These are the ones I cannot live without/use everyday:

There’s the Multi-Container mention. Best native extension you could ever use. Can’t recommend it enough, alongside many other mentions.
firefox has native container support now you shouldn’t be using container extensions anymore

No, the extension is supposed to give you advanced controls in managing your container workflow.
Are containers like ‘Profiles’ on Chrome? Like different users can have different profiles to separate their browsing sessions on one browser.

Are these containers saved for later use when I restart the browser? Or do I have to create a new container and login again?
@Justly0250 @moody two things:
- Firefox has now, without extensions, “total cookie protection” that prevents one website to access another site’s cookies (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/introducing-total-cookie-protection-standard-mode), so as far as tracking protection go, no extension needed
- Mutli-Account Containers add another capability: different cookies for the same site in different containers, like being logged to two different accounts on one site in different containers - and that is saved between sessions.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check this feature out.
didn’t LTT drop PIA because they go bought by some big company?
As far as I can remember and tell from searching around at the moment, they dropped effectively all VPN sponsorships.

Its worth noting you dont have to selfhost bitwarden. You can just run it through their servers. I do that and it works perfectly fine
