    I use multiple browsers to contain work and not work footprints.

      If you didn’t know, firefox has ‘containers’ where you can open a tab in, for example, a ‘work’ container and it won’t carry the cookies over. Lets you log into multiple accounts on 1 browser (like personal email & work email etc).

      Doesn’t have seperate history though.

        Actually there’s one better - if you go to about:profiles in the URL bar you can make a new profile that is COMPLETELY separate, including history. Only annoying thing is that you have to go there every time you want to open a window in a profile other than the default

          If storage isn’t a concern you could always use multiple portable Firefoxes. Of course that means maintaining multiple FFxes, but once you configure one, you can just copy-paste the folder.

        I learned about containers less than year ago and kicked myself for not learning about them sooner. Containers in Firefox truly are a godsend.

        I work in marketing, and with all the tons of accounts we have Containers is a LIFE SAVER

          I’m in IT, and same. The fact I can log into multiple 365 tenancies at the same time and not constantly clearing cookies and shit is life changing

        Do containers allow you to have separate bookmarks lists? TBH, I don’t trust myself to always use the same container for the same “stuff” different browsers serves to idiot proof it for me.
