Features & Capabilities

Containerise is a powerful Firefox extension that automatically opens websites in dedicated containers. By simply adding rules that map domains or subdomains to containers using an easy CSV-based configuration, users can ensure consistent web compartmentalization, enhancing privacy and management.

Users can define mappings using basic domains, glob patterns, or regex to tailor the opening behavior for all matching sites. For example, mapping amazon.co.uk to a "Shopping" container ensures all Amazon UK visits open isolated from other browsing activities. This functionality is disabled in private mode, respecting user privacy preferences. Containerise streamlines container setup, making multi-container browsing effortless and efficient.

User Reviews

Users praise Containerise for reliable performance and as a strong replacement for Multi-Account Containers, with powerful URL/path-based rules and good handling of subdomains. It fits well with privacy workflows and bookmarks. However, maintenance appears inactive, cross-device syncing is missing, and users report bugs and occasional data loss. Regex/documentation are limited, and there are compatibility issues with Firefox updates. Overall, it’s valuable but has notable stability and synchronization drawbacks.

Pros

Reliable and generally smooth performance; widely considered to work well.
Strong replacement for the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension; improve workflow.
Powerful rule-based URL/relative-path matching to assign sites to specific containers.
Effective handling of subdomains and multiple accounts with per-site rules.
Easy to use and integrates well with privacy workflows, including bookmark support.

Cons

Not actively maintained; development appears inactive.
Lacks cross-device sync for container/URL rules; manual setup on each install.
Buggy/unstable behavior reported (UI issues, tab loops, occasional data loss).
Regex support is limited (no flags, limited examples) and documentation is sparse.
Compatibility issues/regressions with Firefox updates causing features to stop working.

Its a great plugin idea but it doesn't really work as intended. After setting up Zen, leaving idle for a day and returning back to to it, Zen erased by pinned tabs on click. I could click any pinned tab and it was like closing them. This behaviour was reproducible until I deactivated this plugin.

Is Containerise Safe?

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.

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

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

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