That’s certainly interesting. I might have to try it out later.

Wonderful! Four times the stored cookies, four seperate caches to fill, four bookmark files to lose and four times more opportunities for malware to roost.

Probably that more or less. I just use one and open tab for each sites…and it works fine for me. Having all those containers is asking for trouble as well and malware will look for those browsers.

Hmm, what if the containers are four virtual domains not interconnected?
I have not had the chance to look into it, but while I share your concern, this ‘could’ be implemented in a highly secure way and not only for gags :wink:
