Why?! On my last Japan trip I visited many izakayas. Great food, friendly people, nice vibes. Yes you have to use Google Translate and still you have no idea what you’re ordering (or sometimes there isn’t really a menu), but who cares, everything is delicious anyway.

I use the Temporary Containers you mentioned, and find it to work very well. A couple of tips:

• I use standard (named) containers for sites I frequently visit, so that I don’t need to log in every time. You can set a website to always open in a certain container.
• For the browser restart problem, I just manually middle-click to open the tabs I want from my previous session, which opens them in a fresh temporary container. Indeed the old container state is gone, but I don’t really find it to be a problem.

Except Trump will not bear the consequences. Soldiers, civilians and children, many of them on the Iranian side, will pay the price instead.

Indeed. PC manufacturers should just invest in the Linux ecosystem.
