Firefox users, how do you use multi account containers, if you even do? (piefed.social)

I'm getting back into using Firefox mainly because of multi account containers. Basically I can open the same website logged in to different accounts by making it into it's kind of a sandboxy thing. That's the main draw at least.

There's also a bunch of more technical stuff explained herehttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

Multi-Account Containers is an extension developed by Mozilla that allows you to separate your browsing experience into different color-coded tabs, to help protect your privacy. By using these containers, you can categorize their browsing based on purpose and create tabs for Work, Banking, Shopping and Personal browsing. For an extra layer of privacy, you can also integrate Mozilla VPN.

Not sure if I want to just follow the default ones and make a few more generalized containers, or make it semi-specialized like having only one container just for Xitter for example.

I have specific containers for work, banking, google domains, and youtube. I also have twitter and tiktok containers in case I need to open one of their links and isolate them. Oh and the separate facebook container extension.

Having said that, I believe FF now prevents cross-site tracking, so technically containers may no longer be needed. I just continue to use them for peace of mind.

Yeah, already have their facebook container. But I believe they already have the function to allow a container to only open the sites I assign it to. So like their Facebook container, any links I click not of the sites it'll just open in no container.

The cross site tracking is the lower of my concerns practically. It's signing in to my multiple Google accounts without having to change accounts is my main goal.
