Coolest feature is per container socks5 support so each container can send traffic through a different socks 5 server. Any VPN offering socks5 on their gateways should work. I'm using IVPN which expose socks5 on each of their WireGuard servers - there is demo on their blog - https://www.ivpn.net/blog/socks5-proxies-app-based-vpn-tunne...


So sad that this feature (amongst many others) was present in Opera v12 (before they switched to Chromium). Still miss that browser, best UX ever.


With different profiles you have different settings -> completely independent connection settings, if you want. What's the difference here with Chromium profiles for example?


I think ff's containers are generally more powerful. Here's a random example: I live outside of the country I was born in, but I still have bank accounts and stuff there. These bank accounts freak out if I log in from my actual IP. Rather than needing to run a system-wide VPN every time I want to use one of those sites, I can set a rule that will automatically open them in a container (in the same window) with preset custom connection settings.
