random proxy per browser tab or container
Is there a way to use a different proxy/VPN exit node for each tab or container?
More and more VPN providers have browser extensions to easily switching proxy while browsing. Some (I'm following the rules by not naming) allow assigning a specific proxy to a Firefox container.
I'd like to automate this switching by having a different, random proxy per browser tab, or browser container.
Does it exist?

Depending on your browser, it's already done for you.
Each instance of connection (tab) that you open is already contained. There is no need for a seperate proxy unless your intent is to try to hide your connections from your ISP.
I'd like to make it more difficult for websites to track me. They can track me in all sorts of ways, one of which is the IP address I'm connecting from. Even when using a VPN, this IP address is the same for a long period of time. I'd like this to change constantly. Reconnecting to a different VPN server each time is cumbersome. Many VPN providers have made this easier by having a browser extension allowing to switch proxy manually (in addition to, or instead of, a VPN). I'd like to go one step further by having something (browser, extension, ...) automatically choose a random proxy every time I open a new tab or container.
