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.

This is biggest reason preventing me from switching over from firefox to edge. I really hope that Microsoft brings this functionality to Edge. It has to be native to Edge without having to install any extensions.

@SpitFire-666 For your scenario though, Edge profiles are ideal.

The uservoice page linked a few years ago is no longer up and it seems this is still a desired feature nearly 3 years later.
We use AD in our environment and for administration of Azure / M365 we use a separate account. Because of this, it is a **major** hassle to use edge for any administration since every single time it's a tedious process of logging out, getting an error, playing around with edge for a bit, and signing in to the other account, tehn repeating every time i relaunch Edge. I generally will use Firefox for all of this, but there are some things (like ediscovery) that I've found don't work as intended outside of edge.
This is definitely not a unique use case and anything to accommodate users paying big money for MS's platforms would seem to make sense.

Arc browser is chromium based and it kind of has this feature. I think this should be possible in MS Edge.
