People struggle to keep browser sessions distinct and predictable
People who separate work, projects, or accounts across browser profiles and containers can lose track of which context they are using. In Firefox, the cited users want more flexible shortcuts and reusable URL rules for opening sites in the right container; managing separate windows can also feel cumbersome. Brave users report that profile icons are too similar to distinguish at a glance, though browser extensions may not be able to change those icons.
For people who separate browser sessions for work, projects, or accounts. Mentioned from Jul 2021 to Jul 2025 on GitHub and Hacker News.

I wish there was an extension (or, much much better yet, something built-in) that would let me create "container groups" where I could list domain names or URL patterns, and always have them open in an isolated container group
There's a few pain points with containers; whenever I'm browsing in a container tab, I wish CMD-T opened a new container tab, not my default tab. I haven't been able to find a setting for this :/
