You can use Firefox for both work and personal stuff, with a couple options:
- Multi-Account Containers segregates cookies (i.e. enables multiple simultaneous logins to Gmail, GitHub, etc, any service, in different tabs of the same browser window)
- Firefox Profiles segregates everything (cookies, preferences, bookmarks, history), by running a separate browser instance.
Containers are more convenient for simple separation. Profiles are 100% separation.

- suprjami 3y agoAnother good option is Firefox for work and Librewolf for personal, or vice versa
- dottjt 3y agoI find that tedious. Mainly because it's really easy to switch between chrome and firefox via keyboard, but to switch between profiles/containers requires mouse clicks etc.
- quesera 3y agoNot sure what platform you're on, but I switch between Firefox containers and profiles primarily from keyboard. Profile switching is the usual app switching, handled by the desktop environment. Just like Firefox-to-Chrome would be. Container switching is just tab switching, which Firefox handles well enough. If you need to go deeper in your tab history, you might need to scroll/click, but for the most-recent 9 tabs, it's right there.
