It looks like it is. I haven’t tried it yet. Good catch.

In nightly, container is available looong time ago without flags.

I have the containers in the settings, but how do get the popup to choose? When I open a bookmark in a container it is not remembered

This is what Google AI said, as when I created a MT's link into a Personal container, it didn't open in that container when I went to this site from a different tab, I had to right-click the tab and "open in" the Personal container (which has a blue Personal icon, image below):

Currently, Brave does not automatically open specific websites in specific containers (often called auto-container rules). Brave's native container feature requires you to manually right-click an existing tab and select "Open in container". The reason the site is not logging in is that each container creates an isolated session. Your login cookies, which authenticate you on that website, are sitting in your default/main browsing session, not inside the new container tab.

And this was posted in this link, and I'm not sure I'm understating it correctly, as was posted above in Google AI's response?

Parts that are still Work-in-Progress (WIP):

Opening a container isn't as straightforward as it could be. To open a container, you must first have the website you want opened in a non-container tab, then you will right click that tab, then will you have the option to open the tab in a container. Different to Firefox where you can right click or press and hold the New Tab button and your container list would appear.

At least F-Secure's banking protection was in full force in a Container I used for my banking site, with the green frame (it's always been compatible with Brave/Chromium) and the notice if I try opening another tab besides the banking site I was on. But, until this new addition is no longer in the "experimental" phase, I'll continue to use my Chrome Profile where I'm not logged into anything, even Google, for my banking etc. sites.

It's still very much a work in progress. I'm surprised they're aiming for wide rollout in v19.2 because it will still probably be unfinished with all the features they've targeted. It's just clunky the way it works, like it's not fully integrated into the browser.

Thanks for the heads-up about the Containers flag! It's a great step for those of us looking for Firefox-style isolation without having to resort to multiple Chromium profiles.

Now that Enable Containers is available in the flags, I've been checking brave://flags to see what other options could complement it in terms of security. I'm thinking of combining it with these three:

• Strict-Origin-Isolation: Reinforces process isolation by origin, adding hardware-level security.
• Anonymize local IPs exposed by WebRTC: Prevents local IP leaks via mDNS, useful for hiding network topology.
• Block scripts loaded via document.write: Blocks old and heavy scripts, although it might break legacy sites (government portals or payment gateways that still rely on this technique).

Do you think activating the first two alongside Containers is a balanced approach for daily use? And how is the compatibility when blocking document.write in practice?

I'd love to know what you think! 🛡
