Brave has introduced a new Containers feature in version 1.92 of its privacy-focused browser, allowing users to isolate browser tabs into separate identities for easier account management and more organized workflows.

Built directly into the browser for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the feature eliminates the need for third-party extensions while enabling users to stay signed in to multiple accounts on the same website without login sessions interfering with one another. Although the rollout is gradual, Brave says Containers will become available to all supported desktop users over the coming days.

Separate Browsing Identities

Containers create isolated browsing environments that keep cookies, local storage, and other website data confined to a specific tab group. Each container maintains its own independent session, making it possible to use multiple accounts on the same service simultaneously. Figure 1 shows brave.

The feature is designed to simplify everyday tasks for both personal and professional users. Social media managers can switch between multiple client accounts, developers can test applications using different user roles, and employees can keep work-related browsing separate from personal online activity—all within a single browser window.

Built for Productivity

While similar functionality has long existed through browser extensions, Brave has integrated Containers directly into the browser to provide a more seamless experience.

Unlike Mozilla Firefox, where Containers also serve as a privacy feature by limiting cross-site tracking, Brave says today's web privacy landscape has evolved. The browser already includes built-in storage partitioning that isolates website data and third-party requests on a per-site basis, preventing advertisers from tracking users through shared storage methods such as third-party cookies.

Because these protections are enabled by default, Brave positions Containers primarily as a productivity and identity-management tool rather than an additional layer of privacy protection.

Easy to Set Up

Users can enable Containers by opening Settings > Brave Content and turning on the Enable Containers option. Once activated, any browser tab can be assigned to a container by right-clicking the tab and selecting Open in container. Brave currently offers several predefined categories, including Personal, Work, Social, School, and Shopping.

Each container maintains its own login credentials and browsing data, allowing users to switch between separate identities without creating multiple browser profiles or relying on private browsing windows.

Gradual Rollout

Brave says the Containers feature is being released in phases [1]. Users who have already updated to version 1.92 but do not yet see the option should receive it over the coming days as the rollout expands across supported desktop platforms.

By combining native account isolation with its existing privacy protections, Brave aims to make managing multiple online identities simpler while preserving the secure browsing experience for which the browser is known.
