Multi-Account Containers with Containerize is an unbeatable combo. Until Chrome gets something like this (I doubt it), I'm never leaving Firefox because of it.

What does Containerize gain you over Multi-account containers? Is the pattern matching more robust?
(I also use Containerise)
In my experience that had better support for per-eTLD temporary containers, so that each site can have its own, and the data can be discarded relatively soon. I also have more permanent containers for things that I want to be able to persist (e.g. work uses SSO so I need to link multiple sites together to log in).
When I used it I found the management in Multi-Account Containers to be onerous (I don't believe it could do automatic containers based on eTLD).
Oh wow, okay this makes things a little easier. I've always struggled with logging in as the SSO-flow has domains that I haven't added to the "Always open in X tab". Hopefully the functionality gets incorporated into the MAC addon eventually!
.. I say hopefully, man I feel guilty getting so much use out of these addons when I could be actively contributing. Fuck it, donating.. https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/
This is going to take care of my biggest gripe with Multi-Account Containers; it leaks cookies to the default container if you open the site management list because it looks up favicons each time. I just tested Containerise and multi-container cookie jars, it does not leak cookies with this.
Finally, painless container management!
