Review summary

Users praise Google Container for automatic operation and its usefulness as an essential, container-like solution. However, multiple reviews report recurring issues: sign-in across sites is broken, YouTube/Google services fail to load or keep reloading, and navigation/history (back button and tab history) is disrupted. A few also note reliability concerns, suggesting maintenance or abandonment.
Pros
  • Automatically works with minimal setup and saves time by handling Google domain isolation.
  • Considered essential/critical by several users for a Firefox install.
  • Conceptually useful, similar to Facebook Container, offering Google service isolation.
Cons
  • Breaks Google sign-in across sites or logs you out of Google accounts.
  • Causes YouTube and other Google services to fail or reload endlessly.
  • Interferes with browser navigation/back history when using Google pages.

2026-01-04 Fi***** Just automatically works, without having to set anything up! Saves me from setting up a Google container and telling the Firefox Containers add-on to "Always open this in site in..." for every different Google domain, on every new PC I use. NB: I don't use Google to sign into anything, which is a big reason why this extension "just works" for me. If you use Google to sign into certain sites, this extension will cause you trouble, by design. --I use a password manager (BitWarden) to sign into all of my accounts (both so I don't have to be signed into Google everywhere, but also so I don't have to remember whether I signed up with Google/Facebook, which email, etc...)
