Brave has rolled out Containers with the Brave Browser 1.92<\/strong> release, giving its Chromium-based browser something Firefox users have had for years now. And no, it is not some pre-installed extension doing the work; this functionality is built right into the browser for Linux, Windows, and macOS.<\/p>\n

In this implementation, each container keeps its own cookies and site data storage separate from the rest<\/strong>, even if you visit the same website across containers. By default, this feature ships with four categories: Personal, Work, Social, and School. Each one of them can be edited or deleted to suit your workflow.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The default Container categories are useful, I must say.<\/p>\n

You can make new ones too! I made one to test how containers worked, named it “It’s FOSS,” and picked a color and icon for it from the available options.<\/p>\n

The idea itself isn’t new. Brave points back to a Mozilla concept doc from 2015 that laid out the original pitch for container tabs in Firefox, complete with cookie isolation, per-container icons, and even auto-naming. <\/p>\n

\"twoI didn’t really login to either service when I took this, but you get the idea, right?<\/p>\n

Mozilla eventually built a version of this right into the browser, with a Multi-Account Containers extension being made available for people who are unable to access Containers on their installation or want site auto-assignment and cross-device syncing.<\/p>\n

There’s more<\/h2>\n

Alongside named containers, Brave Browser also lets you spin up a temporary one<\/strong> straight from the right-click menu, for whenever you want quick isolation without setting up and naming a permanent container.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

I tried it out myself, and instead of asking me to name anything, Brave auto-generated a random two-word name along with its own icon and color; mine came out as “Enter victory.”<\/p>\n

It still worked like any other container while it was open; I just did not have to set it up first.<\/p>\n

Another thing to watch out for is that Brave is rolling out Containers gradually<\/strong>, so…<\/p>\n
