Brave now has working containers like Firefox for tab isolation and account separation

Brave browser version 1.92 introduces the much-anticipated container feature, enabling users to isolate tabs with their own cookies and storage. With this update, users can keep data and login sessions in separate containers, preventing information from being shared across tabs even when visiting the same website.

While this level of tab isolation has been present in browsers like Firefox, Zen, and LibreWolf for years, Brave’s release marks the first time containers are available in a Chromium-based browser. These isolated browsing sessions support practical workflows, such as staying logged into multiple social accounts simultaneously, or testing web applications under different user roles. For example, a developer can log in as both an administrator and a regular user in separate tabs, or an employee can open YouTube in a new container to keep viewing history separate from their main Google account.

Following its ongoing commitment to privacy, Brave already includes storage partitioning to isolate site data and block tracking by default. As a result, containers primarily provide convenience for organizing different online identities or tasks, rather than serving as an additional privacy mechanism. This new feature is rolling out in phases across platforms, so availability may vary for a few days.
