In some ways profiles works better, and in others container tabs does.

I have two password managers, one for work and one for home. Multiple profiles lets me work with both.

Container tabs lets me log into a site multiple times, or when they have a session cookie that prevents me from navigating to two different flows.

Both great, both fill completely different niches.



Firefox has profiles too, btw.


Profiles in Firefox isn't great.

The profiles plugin, is great.

I would want to see this integrated.
