Container tabs isolate sessions. I don’t think tab grouping is related.

Firefox allows you to create/manage multiple containers, and set up rules to assign specific sites to specific containers if desired.

I think the closest feature in Chrome is the ability to create multiple profiles, but this is less flexible/ergonomic IMO.

In some ways profiles works better, and in others container tabs does.

I have two password managers, one for work and one for home. Multiple profiles lets me work with both.

Container tabs lets me log into a site multiple times, or when they have a session cookie that prevents me from navigating to two different flows.

Both great, both fill completely different niches.

Firefox has profiles too, btw.
Profiles in Firefox isn't great.

The profiles plugin, is great.

I would want to see this integrated.
