Containers is amazing but is missing one key feature: addons isolation.

My Profile A have only ublock + bitwarden installed (my most trusted extensions)

My Profile B have random useful extensions for sites like reddit and youtube that I don't necessarily trust but I don't care if only reddit data or my unlogged youtube profile gets compromised as it doesn't mix with my personal profile.

I know that there's a permission system for addons but it's ridiculously bad as many extensions simply need/want permission for all your browsing data or access to all your tabs, history, etc.



Indeed, cookies are only a tiny part of it. Add-on isolation, separate bookmarks, separate history / url-bar autocomplete, etc.
