Containers allow you to specify unique cookie contexts that are inherited by regular tabs opened within that container.
When this feature is enabled, all regular tabs within the same container share a common set of cookies—often referred to as a “cookie jar.” This means that information such as website logins and session data is accessible across all tabs in the same container, but remains isolated from other containers. As a result, you can log into the same website with different accounts in different containers without interference.
Private tabs always use a separate cookie context and do not share cookies with any container or regular tab, ensuring your browsing remains isolated and private.
Key points:
- Tabs in the same container share cookies and session data.
- Cookies are not shared between different containers.
- Private tabs always use their own, isolated cookie storage.
This setup enhances privacy and allows for multiple, independent browsing sessions within a single browser profile.
