What made you choose Firejail over alternatives like Docker?
2 comments

Or maybe even more appropriate: AppArmor (or SELinux).
Firejail can be invoked and configured by normal unprivileged users. Apparmor requires root for creating and installing new profiles.
The new tools are being invented because the old tools suck.

SELinux is terrible from a UX standpoint

Docker is not for secure sandboxing, afaik you can easily escape and get root.
