Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.

I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it's going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I'm tired of fixing the task bar icons.

Could've gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)

Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.

I'm personally using Firefox multi-account containers. It's way better than switching to profiles.

I have for example one container type for work and for specific URL i even made it so they are always opened in this containers. It's really useful as cookies are separated.

I'm coupling it with Simple Tab Groups where I can group tabs together based on criterias (For example all tabs running in my "work" container). At the beginning of my work day I switch to my "work" group and all my tabs on my window are work related and at the end I switch back to my "personal" group with my usual tabs.

It's a bit more work but lets me be completely chromium free :)

Interesting. I do that for social media apps, etc. But i also want to keep my work bookmarks isolated from my personal ones. Not sure how to do that within one profile even with containers.
