Which is still missing a key feature - I want to be able to independently clear history/cookies on a per container basis.

Give me a 'garbage' container for general browsing that is flushed by default, but bespoke Netflix/Github/etc containers that retain cookies forever.

I've been using the Temporary Containers addon for this and it's been good so far: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...
I don't understand why you can't quickly set this up?

To independently clear on a container-basis, why not just delete the container? Stop treating your containers like pets and start treating them like livestock.

Cookie AutoDelete will do the trick. It has per-container deletion rules.
isn't this already achievable with containers and also private browsing?
At least for cookies, Cookie Manager extension can do exactly that.
I think you can kind of do this now? The Temporary Containers plugin will create throwaway containers but you can also create permanent site-specific containers.
