Interesting!

My negative experience with Firefox was with this 6 year old feature request relating to container colors. [0] They have hardcoded some colors & icons (6 or 8 I think?) as possible options. The problem is: If you have more than half a dozen of Gmail accounts that you want to containerize (e.g. for client work), it is really hard to keep them apart at first glance. Compare this to Google Chrome, where you can choose the browser color for each associated Gmail account individually.

I tried to manually extend & build it for myself, but the codebase relating to that was just a mindfuck to work on...
