Edge is following chromes lead.
Vivaldi and Brave are going to maintain the code so at least uBlock Origin can work. Nobody knows how this will play out as the forks won’t want to stray faraway from the chromium code as that would add a lot of overhead.
I tried a bunch of the forks, didn’t like Vivaldi, don’t like some of Braves crap, and won’t use the Chinese browser Opera.
Ended up moving our family back to Firefox.
I miss chromium’s better profile management and the app as a window. Rest of the family don’t miss any of those. Other than that happy with Firefox.

- sharps1 3y agoThanks! Looks interesting.
- emayljames 3y agoThanks, this is something I believe Mozilla made a bad decision to not implement.
- spopejoy 3y agoI've been using containers for a while, and have to say that UX wise, it needs work, it's too easy to inadvertently leave a container tab, and it's easy to get them confused. The effect is "invisible", so there's no warning sign when you've done something wrong. My use-case is managing instagram profiles which periodically log you out, so if you forget and log in with the wrong one it's kind of game over. In sum, it's too wonky for the general masses. Sure, Mozilla could add it just for the experts but that doesn't seem to be their approach which I can respect. After all it's not hard for an "expert" to get containers running.

- Ballas 3y agoOther users have mentioned containers, but you can also launch firefox from the commandline with different profiles (or via about:profiles).
