A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

    Containers are persistent and you can also use 2 profiles of the same browser and add a desktop entry to launch them separately.

    Using separate browsers really is no good practice.

    Fingerprintability may be already given by your IP.

    Also the fingerprint defender addons help with randomizing some identifiers and fool naive scripts

      Good VPN for IP issue.

      “Using separate browsers really is no good practice.” can someone provide some support for this?

      Mullvad Browser lets you reset the finger print with a click of button.

        No that clears browser data, the fingerprint is very complex. If you mean cookies, Librewolf and Firefox can delete all but you can add exceptions where you want to stay logged in. Very handy, also not there in private browsing.

          For me its way easier to use a different browser for each use case. Librewolf for something, Mullvad for something else, also Brave, also Vivaldi. 4 different browsers are making my life seriously easy. Why would I stick to 1 browser with many profiles? If something breaks in that one browser (which happens quite often) all I have to do is fire up a different one and try again. Different people different use cases, different streamlines.

            If your browser breaks I hope another profile is not broken? Running 4 browsers at a time is seriously problematic for RAM, attack surface, updates etc.

            I will do a post on introducing firefox profiles (as they are hidden away) and GUI integration into desktops
