so you can be logged into 2 google accounts at the same time? two facebook accounts? two twitter accounts? IIRC multi-account containers work by domain name so they don't handle this case. Multiple profiles do, something which Chrome handles well and Firefox handles poorly

Yes, you can. It's not as smooth as could be, but I am continuously logged into three separate Google accounts (one vanilla Gmail, two for separate G Suite businesses), and it works fine.

Each container can load any page. If you want to toggle the current domain to load in the current container, you can opt for that. Then, it will prompt you to switch to that container when you browse to that domain, and at that point you can opt to make it automatic. If you don't make it completely automatic, you can just choose to use the default container for that domain, or stick with the current container (or source container, if opening a new tab from some other container).

What would make this better would be to be able to flag a domain as openable in multiple containers, but have one be default, so I wouldn't have to decline switching to my personal Google container every time I clicked a link on an email in one of the G Suite accounts, as they redirect to a google landing page).
