This happens because the app id is not set for the webapp, thus defaulting to
"webbrowser-app".
A workaround is to specify the app id on the command line used to launch the
webapp, e.g.:
webapp-container --app-id=slack https://ubuntu.slack.com/
or
APP_ID=slack webapp-container https://ubuntu.slack.com/
In any case, the absence of an app ID should not default to opening the
URL in the browser, that’s completely unexpected and needs to be fixed
in the browser/webapp-container.

Title:
webbrowser app and webcontainer open under the same instance
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have on xenial the webbrowser-app as my main browser; if I use the
webapp-container for anything else it opens as a tab in the main
browser window. If I open a container instance first, opening the
webbrowser app opens a new tab in the container instance.
One webcontainer example to use is
