Hi All,
A few years ago I had to move away from Firefox for work, I consult on javascript heavy tools and Firefox had been maxing out my CPU. I moved to Chrome, though missed several Firefox features. Thanks to Quantum I’m back, but there is one feature from Chrome that I still use it for, which is its profile implementation.
I was excited to hear about containers, but it doesn’t tick enough of my boxes. Wondering if any of this is on the roadmap, and hoping it’s useful feedback.
So for work I have logins for dummy users to demo the tools. With Chrome’s profiles implementation it is easy to keep multiple windows open logged in to the same sites as different users. It is also very easy to open a new tab in the right profile as it happens automatically by window.
I also like using profiles for personal and work so that when I’m doing a demo I can close all of my personal tabs without losing anything, and again it’s easy to open a tab in the right profile because I will be in the right window to begin with. I go far enough back that I know I could replicate this with switches when launching the exe, but that is not as graceful as Chrome’s profile UX or creating a new container.
Personally I can’t imagine using the “always open in x container” option as I’m trying to log into the same sites in different accounts, so for me I wouldn’t use that feature. I also find it cumbersome to have to pick a container on creation for each tab. I really need to be able to set containers on a per window basis.
Is this in the works? Is this helpful?
