Container Addons (lemmy.ml)

I'm doing a quick review of the Addons that I am using on my Windows PC. I've had a look at some of the previous posts to try to get an idea of where things are at

Currently I have the following Container related Addons but I think things have moved on a bit since I looked at this.

This means that opening Facebook and Google automatically goes into relevant containers and using Switch I can create separate containers for Work, Banking etc.

I noticed that I'm not using Mozzilla's Multi-Account Containers

Ideally I'd like to be able to:

Have Facebook and Google Open in their own containers
Potentially open separate containers for different Google Accounts
Allocate other domains to open by default in a specific container (e.g a list of Bank websites into a specific container) but be able to override that
Have links from Thunderbird open in relevant containers

What are people using in terms of Container addons?

I've noticed that increasingly there is a requirement to accept cookies for service - Now I know that this is potentialy not legal in the EU - its happening. So at least if you are limiting interaction of third party cookies across different containers and using different identies - there is some advange - and it allow you to maintain different personas as such. They are all only seeing a slice of your activity - Thoughts?

Containers don't necessarily help privacy in an absolute sense but help keep trackers from following you across as many sites.
