Are Firefox containers useful? (lemmy.ml)

Apart from signing into multiple accounts or isolating pages under the same domain, is there any advantage to using Firefox containers from a security standpoint or do you think that Total Cookie Protection is sufficient for most use cases / threat models?

What's total cookie protection?

I just installed containers and doesn't seem to take any micromanagement. You can set it to automatically open certain URLs in certain containers.
