## Description

AWS SSO Containers is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the management of AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) accounts. By automatically routing all federated login requests to the AWS console into separate containers, it simplifies and organizes user sessions, ensuring a neat separation of accounts.

This extension requires no complex setup—simply install and click to start automatically segregating your AWS SSO accounts. It streamlines access to the AWS console via SSO and improves workflow efficiency by managing accounts effectively within the browser environment.

## Review summary

AWS SSO Containers is praised for simplifying management of multiple AWS accounts in Firefox by organizing sessions into containers, eliminating the need for multiple browsers. Users find it easy to use, reliable, and essential for daily AWS SSO tasks. However, some note slower browser performance and desire more customization in container naming. Additionally, the extension is currently Firefox-only, with requests for versions on other browsers like Edge.

### Pros

- Simplifies management of multiple AWS accounts within Firefox without needing multiple browsers.
- Easy to use with minimal setup, integrates well with AWS console and SSO.
- Improves productivity by keeping different AWS sessions organized in separate containers.
- Reliable and works consistently for AWS login and session management.
- Valued by teams for day-to-day AWS account management and reduces repeated logins.

### Cons

- May cause slower browser response when used extensively, possibly related to browser performance.
- Lack of customization options for container naming scheme; some users want simpler naming (e.g. only AWS account name without roles).
- Currently only available in Firefox; users wish for availability on other browsers like Microsoft Edge.
