container tabs != tab grouping

tab grouping uses the same cookies everywhere, whereas container tabs provide isolated workspaces each with their own set of cookies

Are they containerized? I have separate containers for work and personal stuff, with separate sessions for Gmail, GitHub, etc.

That's not what container tabs are. Think of it as isolated environments for groups of sites. You can even set it up so that each new link opens in a new environment, without any cookies, etc.

How are tab groups relevant here?

Container tabs isolate sessions. I don’t think tab grouping is related.

Firefox allows you to create/manage multiple containers, and set up rules to assign specific sites to specific containers if desired.

I think the closest feature in Chrome is the ability to create multiple profiles, but this is less flexible/ergonomic IMO.

In some ways profiles works better, and in others container tabs does.

I have two password managers, one for work and one for home. Multiple profiles lets me work with both.

Container tabs lets me log into a site multiple times, or when they have a session cookie that prevents me from navigating to two different flows.

Both great, both fill completely different niches.

Profiles in Firefox isn't great.

The profiles plugin, is great.

I would want to see this integrated.
