Genuine question: I use brave currently. I really heavily on multiple profiles (work, side-business, personal) that are easy to switch between or have active all at the same time in separate windows.

I tried firefox, but in my experience, the method for changing “profiles” was unintuitive and cumbersome. Was I just doing it wrong, or does Firefox not have that same kind of feature?

I really wanna use Firefox, but that’s a deal-breaker.

use container tabs, not separate profiles. profiles are for installing separate sets of addons and the like.

That’s why I need the separate profiles. Some work add-ons I don’t care to have on personal, and vice versa. I like totally segmented preferences.

I've never had a problem with them and I really like the Facebook container feature for when I have to use Messenger to contact friends

Maybe multi account containers for Firefox could work for you? I find it very useful.

Interesting! I’ll give it a whirl.

Edit: gave it a whirl. Perfection. I’m sold. Bye brave!
