what exactly is the privacy benefit of container tabs?

I repeat, privacy benefit!

@frankie What i use it for is if i have multiple accounts on the same site i can log in with one in one container and the other in another container, which makes it harder for them to be connected (although probably not by much)
@frankie One nice thing is: if you log into multiple gmail or outlook accounts, containers let you easily have a specific login for that container.

When you open a new container tab on an associated page like google docs or office 365, it will take you to the documents/files you expect; especially M$ web apps tend to irritatingly return you to the main office.com page when it detects that you 'switched accounts'. Containers eliminate this issue.
