- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14518575, 7 days agoNeeds an option to save container/URL rules to sync across devices. Very annoying to have to manually set up rules with every new browser install.
- Rated 4 out of 5by treesap, 10 months agoAdds an essential feature to container tabs: The ability to always open sites in a specific container tab based on relative paths! Like for Azure devops, I use:
@dev\.azure\.com/client1/.*
@dev\.azure\.com/client2/.*
Really great for contractors who frequently switch between numerous accounts.
Yeah, super great! 5 stars for the great functionality, though probably only 4 stars total due to overall polish/ease-of-use and lack of approving bugfix PRs!
There's also only 1 example provided for their regex flavor. (It's a little odd, but simpler. Forward slashes are fine, and you don't have to worry about text before the domain. Maybe I'll get around to making a PR with more examples soon.
Edit: Never mind on that! It seems the dev may have forgotten about this. There are several open PRs (some years old) with fixes and feature enhancements just waiting to be reviewed and merged. - Rated 4 out of 5by Diego Salazar, a year agoI know the interface is buggy and that the extension hasn't received any updates the last three years, but it really helps when one wants to automatically open a container with a given URL (unlike Firefox built-in feature, that only filters by domain).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Gustavo, a year agoAmazing, especially if you need to deal with subdomains, basically this fixes some issues of 'Multi-account Containers', making things a lot easier/better.
There are a few issues with regex, it seems that you can't use regex flags (like insensitive match) and if you try to add a URL that has upper case letters Containerise forces it to lower case.
Example, add this as a new rule in Containerise:
@addons\.mozilla\.org\/en-US , Test
Save it, and you'll notice that the 'US' will be automatically converted to 'us'
So when you have a URL with upper case letter like the current addons mozilla page you would need to do something like:
@addons\.mozilla\.org\/en-\w{2}\/ , Test
Not ideal, because it can match stuff you don't want to.
Aside from that, this is great. - Rated 4 out of 5by Aleksei Bekh-Ivanov, 3 years agoWorks well as promiced. One thing I miss is being able to choose in which container I want the website to open.
It would be very useful on different websites which use OAuth. I then could simultaneously login as different user in different containers.
Please, add this feature. If you need more info about the usecase, I can gladly provide. - Rated 4 out of 5by SandNerd, 3 years agoAmazing if sadly not updated extension. For a ready list to use with this extension DDG/Google "gist github sandnerd containerise_list"

- Rated 4 out of 5by Rick Evans, 4 years agoWorks as advertised for domains but doesn't feel complete. However, it would be nice if there was more granular control to auto change containers by the entire URL instead of the domain only.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Yngwie, 4 years agoAwesome, this is the only addon which allows you to manually write domains, not open a lot of subdomens to add each one.
But 'temporary' containers are the strange feature, it's not completed for use. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13838303, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Shajirr, 5 years agoVery useful addon, adding custom rules in text form is a million times better than whatever "Multi-Account Containers" is doing.
However, the "Basic mapping" rules added by this addon do not work, at all. Example: if you go to https://www.nexusmods.com/ site, then click + in addon settings, it will add an "www.nexusmods.com" rule. It doesn't do anything. If you then go to "www.nexusmods.com", it opens not in a container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15468808, 5 years agoEssential tool. Interface is not absolutely perfect. 4.49 stars.

- Rated 4 out of 5by nspry, 5 years agoAbsolutely and integral part of the container set up. The only problem that I've seen is that sometime, particularly after an update. I would recommend making a back up text of what you put in just in case. Developer, I will change to 5 stars if you implement a way to backup.
- Rated 4 out of 5by charles.ee, 5 years agoI really dig this extension since you can copy/paste the rules into a new browser.
However even if I copy the example regex given it doesn't work. Glob works, regular rules work, but the Regex rules don't have any effect at all. Is there a setting or trick I'm missing? - Rated 4 out of 5by NietEenDoktor, 6 years agoGetting there, but could definitely use regexes. Possibly adding containers as well instead of the need to do so in preferences.
Thanks for the addon :) - Rated 4 out of 5by GHSRobert, 6 years agoPardon, can this addon work with the whole URL provided? For example, I am specifying a certain Google spreadsheet in Containerise settings, with the whole document ID, but the expected result does not seem to appear, that spreadsheet is still being opened in the default container.
- Rated 4 out of 5by JustBoris, 6 years agomulti-account containers is too limited for me.
This add-on is getting there but needs regex support so that I can direct www.google.(co.uk|com) and others to a "tracking" container and console.cloud.google.com to a "company" container (because they use two different google accounts).
Other people have mentioned wildcards, but that's going to be difficult to code effectively - regex will be a better option.
To dev: "cookie autodelete" addon makes a great working model of how to demonstrate regex and wildcards effectively to the uninitiated. - Rated 4 out of 5by NextGenThemes, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rok Garbas, 7 years agolove it, but i wish it would open all websites by default in containers or at least to have an option to toggle on this behavior.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13408151, 7 years agoWorks well. This seems great if you're using containers as a way to keep certain websites and account info quarantined in a container where it can't be read by other sites. Support for containerising based on regex pattern matching might be a good advanced feature.
- Rated 4 out of 5by klint, 7 years agoInstead of the current container assignment process which is quite basic today (hopefully it will improve), this addons makes the process so handy and mostly, easily maintainable. Thanks and long life to Firefox Quantum with Containers :)
