User reviews
Users appreciate Container Proxy for its simplicity, effective proxy management per container, and ease of use. It allows multiple proxies within the same Firefox instance, which is valuable for different geo-locations or workflows. However, several users report issues like failure to connect proxies, likely due to the add-on not being updated recently. There are feature limitations compared to other proxy managers, including no profile switching and unclear proxy status. Additionally, some face high memory consumption. Overall, it's useful but could benefit from updates and new features.
Pros
- Simple and covers the majority of common user use cases effectively.
- Allows configuration of different proxies per Firefox container, enabling multiple proxies in the same browser instance.
- Easy to set up and works well with Socks5 proxies.
- Does not require changing system preferences to route traffic through proxies.
- Helps users achieve different geo-IP addresses using containers.
Cons
- Addon seems outdated and may not work with recent Firefox updates; some users get connection errors.
- Limited features compared to advanced proxy managers like SwitchyOmega; users desire more customization options such as switch profiles.
- High memory usage reported (around 4GB RAM).
- Lacks UI indication to confirm if proxy is active on a tab.
