Review summary

Reviewers praise Switch Container for being simple, reliable, and convenient. It offers quick, one-click access to containers and can reopen tabs in a chosen container, which many users find more efficient than built-in options. It’s valued for privacy-focused workflows and testing across different identities. Some users request features like context-menu switching, reordering entries, and multi-tab moves, and a few report lag on initial load or compatibility issues with older Firefox versions. Overall, a lightweight, must-have tool for container management.
Pros
  • Simple and effective; does what it says.
  • One-click access to containers and opening tabs in them; easy to use.
  • Reopens the tab in a chosen container, reducing clicks.
  • Very useful for privacy and testing across different identities/roles/hats.
  • Better than Mozilla's Multi-Account Container.

2026-01-13 AN***** EDIT 2026-01-15 MarsCat kindly and quickly fixed the bug below, so I say THANK YOU! And am happy to change my rating to 5 stars :) ORIGINAL Does what it says! Simple and effective. My only gripe is that, if you only have 1 tab open, and try and switch it, the auto closing of the old tab (in order to open a new tab in the new container) causes the whole browser to close. If you have more than 1 tab active, then this doesn't happen.
