Agreed. Mozilla has a special container just for Facebook and I use that. Other people have made similar special containers for Google, etc. but I don't trust them as much as Mozilla.

So I use one container for Google properties (gmail, YouTube, etc.), a different one for social networks other than Facebook (Twitter, Reddit, etc.), and a third for shopping (eBay, Amazon, etc.)

You can teach Firefox to always open certain URLs in a particular container so smile.amazon.com brings up the shopping container, twitter.com brings up the social one, and so on.

I've been a little sad about losing some of the old Firefox extensions but Quantum has been great.

Multi-Account Containers is from Mozilla too.

As far as I know, Facebook Container is just more comfortable to use.

For MAC you are responsible for curating the decisions about what's inside each container.

That's a bunch of work. The more complicated or fast changing the sites in a container, the more work.

Facebook Container comes with the curation done by its maintainers. This is probably less trouble than it might be because it's not as though developers who use Facebook are unheard of.

You can pin every domain to a container. This is a one time action.

After one day I had it up and running.

Is there a way to open subtabs within each container? Ie in the google container I’d like subtabs for YouTube, Gmail, calendar, drive, etc

Opening up every google service in its own google container seems like a recipe to forget once and leave google cookies in your shopping container, for example
