If you're still using Chrome... What was it like hitting retirement age before 2008?

Jokes aside, Chrome really is the bottom of my list in the last several years. I've gotten the best functionality out of Firefox in the last while. Anyone else different?

I've been using Firefox since forever. It had its downs, but generally I'm happy with it. And with Multi account containers they've made sure I stay for life, it saves so much time.

How do multi-account containers differ from Chrome profiles?

Being able to have different containers in the same window?

Plus you can make certain sites always automatically open in their designated container, even if you followed a link. You can keep sites know for spying away from your logged in identity. You can have your banking and other important sites in another container for extra defense in depth.

Thanks. Not something I'd want to do (I like my work and personal tabs in totally separate windows) but obviously that's just personal preference.

It's pretty useful at work because I can separate the about riddled with sales trackers from asking for quotes from my "how do I do X" profile. It can change the results a fair bit. On one I'll get tons of Enterprise professional services, the other recommends a lot of FOSS results.
