Is this equivalent to Firefox Multi-account containers?

No, this is closer to the (removed) Firefox feature called Tab Groups/Panorama.

  Firefox determined that it was little used. Jon Tetzchner never removes anything, Vivaldi has an embedded side-scroller game and integration with Hue bulbs (-_-). I use the Tab Tiling feature in Vivaldi heavily, it is unique to that browser (there was a Firefox extension that implemented the concept pre-Web Extensions but it needed internal changes in Firefox to work as a Web extension that dev team tabled) but the sheer amount of frivolous feature support in Vivaldi is sure to reach a point where it is unmaintainable and everything will be broken all the time.

    Yeah Vivaldi is quite a substantial browser in that sense, there's a lot everywhere you look. It is interesting however that this feature is making its way back around, Vivaldi, Arc, Opera, Edge, are all browsers that added it. Firefox offloaded it to an extension (not maintained by Firefox), and Chrome doesn't officially have it but like Firefox there are extensions around. I guess the little feature just needed a bit of a rebrand!

That was my immediate question as well. Given it's been a leading feature request on Vivaldi forums for a long time, I would've expected them to mention that up-front in the article (even in the title tbh). The fact there's no mention of it, nor of cookies/sessions, makes me suspect that this feature is not implemented (yet???...). Not sure how to tell for sure though. Possibly if the team replies to this comment[0] Edit It seems this blog-post has a lot more technical details & confirmed that this is not implemented in Workspaces[1] [0] https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-desktop-6-0/#comment-658892 https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-desktop-6-0/#comment-658...
