alexkornitzer if ur sure u want each tab to be isolated, u can use private windows. each tab there is isolated from the others

      eirk the problem with private windows is that they drop all data (history, etc). What temporary containers do is preserve all the relevant data (history), but keep each tab isolated (cache, sessions, etc).

          The other problem with private windows is that some sites use incognito mode / private window detection - sometimes it's intended to be fraud prevention (preventing e-commerce purchases or online banking logins using incognito mode is arguably a good thing from a security point of view), but it can also be used for fingerprinting.

          Would love to see multi account container support .

            Vlad The mock ups look really great! Is there an ETA for Session tabs to land in the RC build?

                Thanks very much for the quick reply, I'll keep an eye out.

                  Came to add my thanks and support to this feature. With the Firefox Multi-Account Container add-on not working in Orion, this feature is the last gap for me between FF and Orion. Sadly the nightmare that is Google's (and others') stalkerish cross-site account synchronization means my workflow is broken without the tab-quarantining provided by Multi-Account Containers so I will be anxiously awaiting Sessions!

                    42648594 I am using Profiles to achieve this, which is a "sledgehammer" approach compared to Containers but does the same thing (with some drawbacks).

                        robrecord ANy easy wins to make profiles less of a "sledgehammer"? Feel free to open a new post.

                            robrecord Is there a way to trigger an automatic switch to the correct profile when opening a new URL? In FF, containers are assigned Designated Sites which automatically open a new tab in the relevant container. Seems like in Orion, I'd have to manually open a new tab and select the profile I was to use for that site. Not the end of the world, but a substantial increase in time acorss many dozens of tabs opened throughout a day.

                                Thanks for supporting this feature! I can't wait for this feature to release and make Orion my main browser!

                                I was wondering if this feature was still on the roadmap for the next couple releases - or if it had been pushed bacK?

                                    I just had a read through the entire thread and wanted to +1 this feature request -- thanks for keeping this updated @Vlad, appreciate it very much!

                                    This has been the main feature preventing me from fully jumping ship from Firefox to Orion. Excited for the day this makes it to the stable release.

                                    As a DevOps Engineer having to log in to multiple clouds with multiple roles for multiple clients, Firefox Containers is the Holy Grail. I hope to see this in Orion.

                                    Orion is an awesome browser and it's a great user experience! I have signed up as an Orion+ lifetime member

                                    Thank you in advance :-)

                                    Dear Orion Community,
                                    I am really enjoying using Orion and all the built-in features out of the box, such as the development tools. The more I explore, the more I am wowed by this browser. It's very lightweight on resources, and combined with Kagi is the Swiss Army knife of browsers combined with SpaceX rocket speed.

                                    As a DevOps Engineer, I need to log in to multiple clouds, multiple environments (non-prod, pre-prod and prod) using multiple roles for multiple clients. I have tried the profile route, but this ends up being a lot of config, each profile requiring the extensions I use, each profile window needs configuration and management and involves much context switching. I figure you could combine profiles with containers to allow multiple role logins for that particular profile.

                                    Firefox's containers is the holy grail, allowing an engineer, for example, to group multiple AWS roles and environments and add to that the AWS SSO Containers extension, and you have a powerful all in one window solution which I prefer.

                                    I did try installing Firefox Containers from the Add-ons store, but the experience was suboptimal and didn't function like in Firefox itself. I just get the spinning blue donut. I also tried turning compatibility mode on and off and reinstalling the extension.




                                    Would the Orion devs consider adding a Firefox containers like solution to the browser ever or even just being able to use Firefox Containers and sync my current Firefox container data would be awesome too.

                                    Thank you.
