There's a feature I use heavily that I cannot get in Chrome: Multi-Account Containers[1].

unfortunately, such a feature is so niche that almost nobody cares about it, and so does not move the needle in the fight against chrome.

According to a quick statistic search, firefox has about 363 million users, while the multi-account addon has about 368,938 users - that's 0.1% of users. Compared to ublock origin, which has 7,388,295 and thus is at least within 2% of all users.

i do wish FF shipped the multi-account-containers bundled with the install of FF; it is quite possibly the #1 most used plugin - esp with each tab being a random temp containter. It might be confusing for some folks with the advanced bit; but professionally it saves the day when testing front ends and peoples instructions are "clear your cache, find out how via your browser ect" - nah just open a new temp container
