About Temporary Containers

Temporary Containers creates a throwaway container for each tab, site or link you configure, and deletes the container and its cookies and storage once the tab closes. Rules can force particular domains, or all external links, into fresh isolation.

Strengths

  • Every site can be isolated automatically with no manual container management
  • Fine-grained rules for which domains and links get fresh containers

Limitations

  • Firefox only
  • Aggressive isolation logs you out constantly unless exceptions are configured

Alternatives to Temporary Containers

Compare all

Software that can replace Temporary Containers for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.

  • Firefox Multi-Account Containers

    Separates browsing into colour-coded container tabs with isolated cookies.

    FreeOpen sourceBrowser extension

    Firefox Multi-Account Containers uses persistent, colour-coded containers you assign manually, keeping logins across sessions instead of deleting containers automatically after use.

  • Cookie AutoDelete

    Deletes cookies and site data as soon as a tab closes.

    FreeOpen sourceBrowser extension

    Cookie AutoDelete removes cookies and site data when a tab closes while keeping whitelisted logins, and works beyond Firefox, though Manifest V3 limits it in Chromium.

  • Facebook Container

    Isolates Facebook in its own container so it cannot follow you elsewhere.

    FreeOpen sourceBrowser extension

    Temporary Containers isolates every site in disposable containers automatically, going beyond Meta, but aggressive isolation logs you out often unless exceptions are configured.
