I believe chrome has this functionality by default. It's called people. It lets you have several different logins but also lets you have a guest account.

But it's cool to see this sort of functionality being spread around.

Just not the same. You have to open different windows for the same functionality, Firefox can do it in the same window.

Hey,

correct me please if I'm wrong but it's not the same.

As these containers are more than just a guest or incognito window.

As far as I know, the people function closes the complete window so you can not have 2 open at the same time.

But please correct me if I'm wrong!

I would like to here more!

You can have several windows open, and each person can have a google account to sync with.

Okay, that's cool! didn't know that :D

Now they should implement in a way so it works in a single window!

Thanks for the info! appreciate it!

Actually this feature was first available to Firefox, but it was always separate from it, since it was some kind of lab/experiment, requires the containers extension. if you want similar on chrome you need the persona addon for chrome (or else you need separate windows)
