Firefox has profiles too. Containers are for use within a profile. You keep saying that containers aren't useful but you don't elucidate on how they are useless for privacy or what integration issues exist. I don't know how to interpret 'general awkwardness.' Can you fill in some details?

On the usefulness of containers for privacy, I wrote another comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37477425

A problem I have with containers is one of usability, as they have integration issues. For example, when searching for open tabs (`%`), the container-enabled tabs don't get displayed.

Agree, though different profiles are a pain to use, I have to rely on the shell

   firefox -P profile2
You can use about:profiles to open profiles in new windows by simply clicking a button.
