Combined with container bookmarks extension, it becomes really handy.
Amazon, i can login as my personal or my company account based on the bookmark I click
Social media, different profiles straight in with their bookmark
I manage a few things for my mother, utilities and such, keeping her logins already logged in in a bookmark folder is handy.
Essentially, any time you need to segregate logins / accounts.
Super reasonable. I should get with the times and start using it too...
As i say, it really comes into its own with the container bookmarks addon

It can be a bit of pain to get setup with containers for bookmarking, but if you get stuck feel free to shout
might have to give this container bookmarks a look. I'm looking to move away from Zen browser. the 1st best thing for me on zen is their workspaces, and that can set containers to open specific containers only. 2nd best thing is each workspace can have its own pinned tabs.
but I just lost a lot of tabs because of a zen bug.
so I figured this container bookmarks can replace that workspace pinned tabs.
Yeah, i have a combination of a selection of folders in bookmark bar for various functions and a home page / speed dial again with bookmarks which are container enabled, makes my workflow much easier.
