Those're probably containerised.

Sandboxed rather than containerised I think.

what was the difference for those of us who dont know, like andrew over here ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sandboxed typically restricts a program from being able to read/write to various areas (think an app isn't allowed to use the network, or access USB devices, or it's only allowed access to a certain directory in the filesystem).

Containerised is a way of virtualising an app/apps so that they can be easily distributed to run once or thousands. They can and are also sandboxed to different degrees.
