I copied the wording from
2184fee75a/README.md
I guess the underlying problem is that the web-ext version specified in
the package.json is very outdated. By installing the web-ext tool via
the provided instructions it fixes the problem.
Furthermore, the `webextensions-examples` repo doesn't specify web-ext
in their package.json which means that installing web-ext via the
provided instructions seems to be the preferred way. (So maybe web-ext
should be removed from the package.json entirely?)
Fixes#1926
Added feature to isolate (lock) assigned sites: When you are in
a container with site isolation enabled, navigating to a site
outside of the assignments will open that site in a new default
container tab.
