XJ0OYtjb··on Firefox Containers Preview
My guess as to what's new here is... nothing.

I'm thinking they will change the containers preference to default to on, and if the extension enabled the preference before maybe that's being removed. Otherwise the containers functionality in Firefox or the extensions in the extensions remain exactly as they were before.

So you still need the extension as it has the critical functionality of Ctrl-Shift-1 to open a new tab of the first container type.

XJ0OYtjb··on Is there ever a good reason to disable swap?
My understanding is that the slowness comes from program code being removed from memory to free up space, forcing the system to constantly re-read it from disk. I still get the slowness without swap.
