Edge container tabs
Hello everyone.
One of the things I like in the Firefox is the possibility of using containers.
Mozilla have two containers add-on's, Facebook Container (exclusively to the Facebook) and Multi-Account Containers.
The first is used to prevent Facebook tracking our online activity by creating an isolated and exclusive environment. Where every cookie, every tracking script, APIs that Facebook creates / uses / have, are isolated inside the container.
And the second, is almost the same thing as the first, works by creating an isolated environment as well, but is for any website.
The containers are, a some kind, sandboxes.
I'd like to see the support for this in the Edge.
Microsoft need to bring this to the Edge, but in a natively way without the need of installing any extension.
And the option to create a container tab can be placed next to the profile avatar, for example.
By the way, Chrome/Chromium do not have support for this.
This is a very very useful.

I do not know if I can put this kind of links, but, if I broke any rule, I'll remove this post.

- I second this request. It's one of the few features that keep me on Firefox. I have three Office 365 accounts for different organizations I am involved with, and container tabs keep those neatly separated.
To be clear, this is not the same as "profiles," because profiles open in new browser windows. Containers are tabs, not windows. Also, at least in Chrome, you can't sign in to the same account in two different profiles, so syncing is different. That's not the point of container tabs.
