I too was on btech 3065 back in the day! Good memories of hanging out with people from all over the world. My dad got really mad when I hogged the phone line for hours.

I use Firefox containers with a work and a personal container. Each container can stay logged into separate google accounts, github accounts, etc. and keep them separated. It works pretty well. https://addons.mozilla.org/e
