multi-account-containers VS mozilla-vpn-client

It is an extension for Firefox, but one created by Mozilla. It's official in that sense, but it does seem a little strange it's not included by default.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multi-account-conta...

the opposite is true, too, since "Clear History" in Chrome Profiles behaves correctly and (AFAIK) is scoped just to that Profile unlike our container friend: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3...

I still use them because combined with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-c... ( https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container ) is a game changer for my workflow but it does make me sad that issue has been open for so long

I have about 35 tabs open, some are work tabs, some are personal tabs and others are social tabs. About 1 week ago I started having the problem that while I have the Open Containers completely draining, my CPU is at 100%. While when I close them all my CPU returns to its normal state of use 20% I see that the problem is existing. https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/572 any help? I have the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10

I've been googling around for a way to recover them and it seems like this is just... a thing hat happens? And it has for years? This is intentional? What the hell?

Firefox Containers - Only if you need to use two accounts from the same website at the same time. You can change groups names and colors. When you need to open another account simultaneously just right-click the tab -> open in new conteiner -> choose one and voilá. It took me time to understand how exactly this worked but I use a lot now. Ohh and never ever never set "Aways open this tab/site in this container" this got me nuts these days. Is hard to revert if you don't really need a certain website aways on a certain container.

Can I start Firefox from the (linux mint) terminal opening a website in a particular container (using the Multi-Account Containers extension. see https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/)

Notice that not all functionality is available in brand accounts, e.g., upload your own music to YTM. There might also be some lost functionality when using the brand account at YT, but I don't know them anymore. You should also be aware that it is not easy to switch between different google accounts on PC because they use the same cookie to remember your current account. You can use a different browser for one of YT or YTM, or use add-ons like Firefox Multi-Account Containers. The different apps on android have no problem with this.

The summary seems to ignore upstream.

They did infact

removed polkit : https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/70...

refactor auth using D-Bus: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/71...

These are why author's PR was dropped.

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client.git cd mozilla-vpn-client git submodule update --init

RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

So I intentionally decided not to have IPv4 connectivity system wide to catch apps with issues in IPv6 only environment and then carefully evaluate issues and report them to authors: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/issues/... https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4121

Dual stack setups tend to hide IPv6 implementation issues and may create illusion that app is IPv6 compatible but in reality it's not.

Clearly my setup is too hostile for home users but as developer I enjoy it a lot.

Mozilla VPN is still in "beta testing" mode, and while everyone works out issues with clients, subscriptions, and all the other fun, it's better to limit the scope of a test. Mozilla VPN will roll out into more countries over time, and if yo want to know when, there's a "join the waitlist"-button on https://vpn.mozilla.org/.

A CLI is available - never used it in a headless environment yet. Hope that helps :) https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/blob/main/docs/Command-line-interface.md

No. The Firefox Private Network browser extension offers set and forget network protection while you shop, bank, and browse in Firefox. It’s lightweight and simple. A VPN is a more robust software application that allows location switching. It’s a separate app you install to secure everything on your device that connects to the internet, including all browsers, social media apps, and banking apps. Learn more if you’re interested in our VPN.

Having said that, people can only track you if you make connections to their domains. If you don't even want the owner of a site you visit directly to know you visit it, use Mozilla VPN (if available in your country) or a slower free alternative like Tor or VPN Gate.
