Finally, it only took them 10 years to get around to updating that decades old UI. Wonder which other decade old UI parts are they gonna tackle next? ooh, will they finally do something about Library and the whole bookmarks/history menu/sidebar/window mess? It's a little insane how so much time has passed and so many versions were released, and some interface stuff still remains unpolished and disparate. Firefox simply can't get it together on that front.
For tab containers, maybe there's a "good reason" that no other browser has that feature, cause it is confusing both as a concept and in use, and doesn't separate the rest of the stuff (or even the stuff in intends to separate when it's cumbersome and peculiar to use). Like, shared history, or inability to have separate extensions, defeats many of the purposes people use profiles for - which is an actual complete separation of things.
- vianneychevalie 2y agoAs a consultant, switching between my many clients, testing, and home accounts is simply Alt+F+B+Arrow down ("Open new container tab"), all within the same UI, in the same window, with colored tabs, with the same extensions, and same password manager. I've been in situations needing up to half a dozen different Microsoft accounts (multiple Teams clients in Firefox, for instance), other browsers haven't solved this daily use-case for me. It's an easier account management tool.
- pxoe 2y ago"Shared everything", is exactly what's undesirable about container tabs and what makes them a non-starter. I'd like to keep work actually separate. I don't need work tabs, or work history, or work downloads polluting the "main" profile. I don't need work extensions to be active outside of work. (there's just no way to make some extensions to work with just specific containers, so that's a dud.) All of that stuff can be in it's own space, and it would also make switching a bit easier - open profile, resume tabs, close profile, things stay put and ready to pick up where you left off, without needing to juggle tabs within the same profile and having them be an eyesore, be it work stuff on a regular profile or vice versa.
- internet_points 2y agothere's also ctrl+.1 etc (ctrl period and then a number, first container is 1)
- r00fus 2y agoSo what browser do you use that solves this properly and allows full adblocking?
- StuffMaster 2y agoOh god please no. Chrome's history/bookmarks UI is awful.
