Yeah, I'm not getting it after the first "Are you sure?" prompt, but that first one is annoying. I already checked the box asking to always open foo.com in a specific container. Why is it asking again?

Also, I'd love to do this in my bookmarks, instead of having to visit each site and set the container one-by-one.

I have some sites that I almost always want to open in a specific container. Except when I don't.

I suspect this double-confirmation is for people like me: I can chose between "always open this site in this container" and "always suggest opening this site in this container".

I actually have a few cases like this as well, but they are very common cases I encounter 20-30 times a day.

I thought containers were clunky too until I went looking for bug reports for the functionality I wanted (always open domain in container) and found out I just wasn't using them right.

I'm actually really impressed with how polished it is given the complexities it entails

Is there an official article/tutorial detailing how to use them and use cases with examples?

From searching I just found a Mozilla help page[1] that seems to have much of the useful info, along with some links to other articles.

Not sure of it or something similar was referenced at some point during the extension install process.
