Equivalent of Multi-Account Containers or Temporary Containers Extension (FF)

[ECPerkins]

A few days ago, Brave product designer aguscruiz asked for suggestions and feedback on containers and workspaces:

Worskpaces/Containers feature feedback

Hi all! I’m Agustín, I work as product designer for desktop in Brave. I wanted to reach out to you all because we’re actively considering the much requested functionalities of Containers and Workspaces. We recognize that people who request this features in particular come from other browsers where they are already available. But since they have overlapping functionality (in addition to our Profiles), we wanted to ask for your input and try to understand what about those features make your life …

Since Chromium/Brave has a “Profile” feature, CAN the Brave Team make any “Brave Profile” (that a user opens) to OPEN in just ANOTHER NEW TAB?

I believe that is how easy it would be to create a “Brave Multi-Account Container”, is it not?

[adinas]

This would instantly make Brave my main browser instead of Firefox

I wanted to move my work computer to brave, but I can’t because with aws I literally can’t switch between govcloud and commercial accounts. I use firefox containers to split them…

[Saoiray]

@slingshot helpful to answer questions asked at Worskpaces/Containers feature feedback

For example, any reason you couldn’t use two different browser profiles or release channels? I mean, if want to stay in the same browser version you’d have the profiles. Otherwise simple to do Brave with Brave Beta or Brave Nightly.

I help a group of people with their Matrix accounts, and want to log in as several of them to do so. But in Braven when I open the second instance of app.element.io, it tells me I am already logged in in another tab. So I have to hunt for different web sites offering Matrix clients to do this. With WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, or its ilk it would have been frankly impossible.
So yes - this feature is sorely needed!

Agree!!! Firefox’s containers is the only reason I still use Firefox. Very handy to isolate/contain social media’s prying eyes/ears!

I wanted to switch to Brave, but I’m not ready to lose the multi-containers option.
I’ll wait until it’s available.

[krlabs]

Brave should implement this feature.

[pdm]

The fact that such a basic feature is STILLLLLLL missing really makes me think about going back to Firefox. I think you literally can just make it such that a profile is a container and you can have tabs of different profiles in the same window. No idea men but jesus is it annoying to not have containers. We live in 2025 not 1980! I have more passwords, logins and accounts than $ on my bank account.

[koene]

Yes, we need this feature I use this extensively in FF, profiles are just not efficient for using different accounts. Also combining tabs in groups on FF is a nice feature expanding on this idea further that I would really like to see in Brave.

[medo0]

Hey i signed up just because I want this one so bad +1… brave i the best browser, and this feature will make it perfect

[kontolodon]

2025 Still waiting for this

Brave’s team says it might be implemented within this year

I’m here to add that I also “need” (not want, need) the multi-account container function that FF does. I’ve got too many secondary accounts on too many websites that i need to check daily that i just can’t migrate away from FF without seriously disrupting my workflow.

[NickW]

This is a must have feature for me and I would much rather use containers in Brave than having to use Firefox with the extension for those sites which I need to control.

[roaringlito]

Made an account just to upvote this. As an ex-multi-year Brave user, I only switched to a Firefox-based browser because of multi-account containers. It’s just so useful to have.

[aexx]

Same for me, I can’t leave FireFox without multi-accounts support as it will really effect my workflow.

I heard Steve Gibson (SN #1036) talk about how far the browser has come and I really want to start using Brave as my main daily driver. Getting an endorsement from the great Mr. Gibson means a lot!

Just like @ roaringlito I created my account just to comment here about how important this feature is to me.

[nikolovlazar]

Yes please! Also a multi-year Brave user that got a taste of Firefox’s container tabs, and having them in Brave would be great.

[Maleko]

Multi-account containers is pretty much the only reason I stick with Firefox. Everyone builds their sites to perform well on Chromium so the desire to move to a Chromium based browser like Brave is high. Profiles is nothing like MAC. Profiles by default open a new window whereas MAC is like having profiles attached to individual tabs - it’s awesome.
