Chrome actually already has this feature in the form of profiles. See the top-right icon.

  Yes it does and I have been using this. But it seems to be per window not tab. Unless I've missed something?

    It's per window and it remembers the last profile used. I find it hard to manage as other apps will open links on the active window, which might be in the incorrect profile I want to use at that time. I like this new feature in Firefox. OS-level profiles being the slowest method, Chrome profiles being faster but with this annoyances (for me)... Firefox new container tabs look like a more lightweight/faster method for context separation.

    > it seems to be per window not tab Chromium-based Ghost Browser [1] can do it per tab or tab group. It would be nice if Google implemented the same feature into Chrome since multiple profiles can be a hassle. [1] https://ghostbrowser.com https://ghostbrowser.com

      This looks EXTREMELY interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    Yeah, this is actually distinctly different from Chrome's profiles. Firefox does already have an equivalent to Chrome's profiles [0], so it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to implement this, if it wasn't different.

  It does, sadly!
