Same! Containers and Pop-Out video are the killer features too IMHO

I just used the pop-out video feature for the first time, after thinking it was going to be useless. It is really awesome and the ability to put the video anywhere, not just in the browser, was one of the first things in a while that made me say wow to a new feature in a web browser.

I love using it as I WFH and use an RDP session to my work computer, open PIP on my local machine and have it hover over my RDP session. Very nice!

Containers are awesome. Still waiting, though, for when I can set bookmarks to use a specific container. I have a few different gmail accounts and it would make accessing them a lot easier (having containers at all is already a huge improvement).

I use pinned tabs for a similar use case (o365). Open the page in the container you want, right -click -> pin tab and it will remain on the left of the tab bar with just the icon remaining.

Yup, that's exactly what I do right now as well.

Click ••• > Always open this in a Container > Pick one. Done.

As I mentioned, it's for multiple different gmail accounts. Same url, different containers.

you might be able to trick around that if you can set up something that redirects. I have multiple bookmarks that go via the same URL via a redirect (it's an SSO login flow), but if I set the initial URL to be tied to a specific container, the entire flow remains in that container. So if you could set gmail.example.org to to redirect to gmail and gmail2.example.org as well, you could tie those urls to a container and use bookmarks. It's a bit roundabout, but it probably works.

yeah, as long are containers aren't synced and available on android it's not really an option for me, it's nice I can isolate certain sites, but if it doesn't work everywhere it's a bit pointless for me.

So having containers and pop out video available nowhere is preferable to them being available on desktop but not mobile?
