I'm kind of offended by them to say they want to "protect you from harmful technology" while picking the apps that will protect me as a consumer.
I understand the rationale, but I think it's offensive and paternalistic for the user.

But I'm not sure if we can do that evaluation during our daily lifes without being alienated. It's not possible or healthy to evaluate the views of the owner of every shop we visit, or every restaurant we want to eat in. We live in a crazy world with people with crazy ideas. Yes, we should advocate for change, but I'm not convinced that the way of doing it is though a scrutiny of ideals that the founder of the company that make the software you use.
Oh, and actually if that means you are moving to Teams (which is apparently what is happening in this case) I'm 🤔

I love Firefox, and I try to use open source software as much as possible, but being the browser such a critical software in my work and personal workflow, I couldn't stand any more of receiving the amount of "tab crashed" messages over and over again. I tried uninstalling extensions and such, but I ended up trying Orion (which btw allow you to access both Firefox and Chrome extensions (!) also in mobile (!!)) and not going back to Firefox.
It's a pity, but the weird and uncontrolable tab crash bug was enough for me

Multi-Account Containers allows you to use every tab as "a new session". That lets you log in with accounts (google accounts for instance) in every tab and not connecting your search history with your work or personal google accounts.
Conteinarise let you identify "personas" or "containers" for different uses. For instance, you can have a "Work" container just for work related stuff keep you logged in your work credentials in Google, Github, trello or whatever. Conteinarise let you customize it even more in simple terms like this:
*.amazon.co.uk , amazon *.chess.com , chessThat implies than every time you open a chess.com domain or subdomain, it will open on a "chess" tab, etc.
