Brave’s new feature will feel very familiar to Firefox users

Brave has officially rolled out Containers, bringing one of Firefox’s most-loved features to its own browser.

The company announced the release on X, saying, “By popular request: Brave now has Containers!” That isn’t much of a surprise. Users have been asking for this feature for years, and when we first spotted Containers in testing back in April, plenty of Brave users said it was one of the main reasons they were still using Firefox.

If you’ve never used Containers before, then here’s how it works. The feature basically lets you keep different browsing sessions separate from each other. Every container has its own cookies, logins, and site data, so websites inside one container can’t see what’s happening in another.

One of the biggest benefits is being able to use multiple accounts on the same website without switching profiles. For example, you can stay signed into your personal Google account in one container and your work account in another. Both will work side by side without interfering with each other.

There are plenty of other use cases too. Social media managers can stay logged into multiple accounts at once. Developers can test websites using different user accounts without constantly signing in and out. You can even keep entertainment sites like YouTube inside their own container so they don’t mix with your work browsing.

The feature is built directly into Brave, so there’s nothing extra to install. To use it, open Settings, enable Containers, then right-click any tab and choose Open in container. Brave also includes a few ready-made containers like Personal, Work, Social, and School.

Setting up Containers is easy:

1. Right-click a tab

2. Select “Open in container”

3. Choose the category

You can edit or add categories for Containers at Settings -> Content. pic.twitter.com/19s4ZCkSrJ

If you don’t see the option yet, don’t worry. Brave says the rollout is happening gradually over the next few days, so it may take a little time before it reaches everyone. Once available, you’ll find the toggle under Settings > Content. We’re also yet to see the feature on our end. That said, the company has also confirmed that Containers are available in Brave Origin.

Containers have been a long time coming. The feature first appeared in Brave’s desktop beta builds in June, shortly after the company confirmed it was also working on native Workspaces. Now that Containers are available in the stable release, Brave users finally have another feature that previously kept many people on Firefox.
