With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    My biggest issue with FF is the lack of the ability to switch accounts easily. In Chrome I have a work account, a home account, and a side hustle account. Each has their own bookmarks, themes, passwords, and history.

    I have tried using FF and the few workarounds to match this feature, but so far it has none worked as smoothly as chromes 2 button clicks to switch accounts.

      You can have full on separate profiles in Firefox with no common data between them! Accounts, cookies, settings, extensions and their data, even configuration flags and where the profile folder is located on your computer can be customized for each profile! You can even have multiple profiles open simultaneously. Check out about:profiles

      Container tabs? They are an official extension but for some reason don’t come pre-installed. I use them extensively for exactly this. Also they are great for paywall evasion, as they don’t count as incognito browsing but can be created and destroyed in seconds.

      Firefox has Container Tabs, where you can separate your personal, banking, work etc. Aside of that, they are completely separate sets of cookies used. You don’t need to open new window.

      You can always use firefox’s profiles to manage different profiles and the “profile switcher for Firefox” extension. 2 clicks to change profile that way.
