User reviews

Container Proxy is praised for its simplicity and effective proxy management per Firefox container, allowing multiple tabs to use distinct proxies simultaneously. Users value its reliability over the official proxy add-on and its ability to handle SOCKS5 proxies and geo-IP needs. However, the add-on hasn't been updated in years, causing compatibility issues with recent Firefox versions and occasional connection errors. Some report high RAM usage and desire more features such as profile switching or better UI feedback on proxy status.

Pros

Simple and easy to use for switching between multiple proxies in different Firefox containers.
Allows configuration of different proxies per container, enabling multiple tabs to use different proxies within the same Firefox instance.
Successfully works with SOCKS5 proxies and integrates well for proxy routing needs.
Preferred over official built-in proxy functions, works reliably without needing system-wide preferences changes.
Useful for assigning different geo-IP locations via container proxies.

Cons

The add-on has not been updated for years and may be incompatible with recent Firefox updates, leading to connection errors.
Consumes a high amount of RAM (around 4GB) according to some user reports.
Lacks advanced features like profile switching or greater customization options compared to other proxy switchers like switchyOmega.
Users cannot easily see if the proxy is active in a specific tab, indicating limited UI feedback about proxy status.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Container proxy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Container proxy has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
