related #1053 |

@bsclifton you've right, do you know where the development of this feature is? Is it in the exp version of Brave ? |
|
Hi @bsclifton I don't wish for this to be closed as Arthur's points need to be taken on board but how different would this be to Session WIndows/Tabs #34? Surely this would be just an enhancement on top of it. |
|
Good point, @NumDeP - this could be similar to Session Windows/Tabs. But to @RoiArthurB 's point, that issue is scoped to only have Session Windows... meaning you'd have to have one window per unique session (and 20 windows already known to be undesirable) |
|
@riastradh-brave is this a dupe of #1053? In either case, can you provide an update in #1053? Thanks |
|
Hi all !
@NumDeP you link this exact issue... So yes it's similar on the way that it's the same web page/issue ^^"
Actually my point is to have different sessions within tabs (as Multi-Account Containers does in Firefox)
I think it is. Or at least it's very closely link ! |

Thanks all- will close this as a dupe of #34 (session windows) |
Hello,
Request
I really love the idea of the Brave Browser, the new financial offer, and everything. But I'm a Firefox user and I'm concerned about privacy and what blocks me to Brave is the multi-account container plugin ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ )...
My usage of it is to create a unique container for GAFAM's services and has a unique profile (cookies, etc) for them where I can use all services in the same container. For example, I have a Facebook container where I'm using Messenger, Instagram & Facebook and outside this container pages can't see my Facebook cookies/login!
Elements of solution
So, thanks to chromium native sandboxing ( https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/docs/design/sandbox_faq.md ) I think a similar option could be implemented in Brave.
Actual workaround
I know that I can use chromium profiles and isolate my browsing that way. But it's too hard to use (I want my container on the same window because I'm running 20 of them, I don't want 20 Brave windows on my computer... I'll be lost too quickly on them !) and I'm afraid plugins will relaunch themselves (which could quickly be RAM and CPU expensive).
