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.

Edit: I get it now. It’s worth the overlapping add ons. This should do it.
