0.1.0

First release. Containers for Chrome: stay signed in to several accounts on the same site, side by side in one window.

Early release: used daily with Gmail, Discord and GitHub and covered by automated tests, but not yet tried on every site. Not on the Chrome Web Store yet.

What's in it

• Containers as tab groups: each container is a named, coloured tab group with its own cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage and IndexedDB.
• Always open this site in…: assigned sites opened elsewhere ask "Open in container?" before anything is sent.
• Restarts: container tabs come back signed in after Chrome restarts.
• Encrypted at rest, and a container unused for 30 days is signed out automatically.
• Right-click menus: open link in container, reopen this tab in container, always open this site in.
• Shortcuts: Ctrl+Period opens the popup, Ctrl+Shift+1/2/3 open your first three containers.
• Sync and backup: names, colours, emoji and site assignments sync through Chrome; sign-ins never leave the computer.
• Chrome's own Google and Microsoft device sign-in can't leak into a container.

Install

1. Download containers-0.1.0.zip below and unzip it to a folder you'll keep.
2. Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the folder.
3. Pin Containers to the toolbar.

Known limits

The HTTP cache is shared between containers; cookies set by redirects inside background requests can be missed; sites that serve every customer from one address (Autotask, Intune) can't be told apart by assignment, so open the client's container first. More in the README under How It Works.
