Or like, just switch already?

For me, it's a bad case of complete aversion to change and my mind just not able to handle the *gestures at everything* right now to the point of dozing off due to sleep problems. All it takes to push me over the edge into a mental spiral is muscle memory messing up; At least 6 or so years since switching from Windows 7 to 10 I am still being driven mad because the same exact notch on windows 10 mouse sensitivity as it was in 7 is slightly more sensitive in 10 over 7. Likewise I've been using chrome for god knows how long now and when I tried going back to Firefox earlier this year I found that a lot of things are in different places on chrome as well as key combinations and extensions are not exactly the same in what and how they work or where their menu locations are or options. And yes I know I'll be forced to readapt once mv2 is phased out of chrome but for now I am just trying to hang on to whatever I can keep the same as everything in the world feels up in the air now. Having, officially diagnosed, mental illnesses is not fun alongside being stubborn at the worst times.

I have to use Chrome to access a couple of sites that don't play nice with Firefox.

I bet those sites will play nice if you switch your user-agent to display as chrome.

Just use edge, it’s chrome based. Or any other chrome based browsers that aren’t google chrome?

I use Firefox on everything EXCEPT my Steam Deck. Firefox will not let you open the dropdown menu to exit, make videos fullscreen etc. And when a notification pops up, your firefox is now 100 by 30 pixels...

I wish they would fix it already...

I can use firefox in desktop mode but i don't like having to switch to desktop mode and wait for everything. Then switch back to play something.

People are weird. Just use Linux! /s

I'm honestly looking for an answer for my specific use case and unfortunately no other browser seems to be able to do this (I last looked into this in earnest near the beginning of the year). I am a consultant and work on multiple customers systems (web based system) all of which use a common single sign in provider. Unfortunately this means that in a single browser session, I can only be logged into one customer at one time. Yes, I know I can use multiple browsers but I sometimes touch 10 different systems in a day and need to switch between them easily and quicly. Yes, I know I can do this in Firefox but Firefox doesn't break each sandboxed session into it's own container with its own customized icon in the taskbar within windows.

With chrome I can create as many local profiles as I want, one for each of my customers and each with their own unique icons. Each profile has its own add-ons, caches etc. and I can quickly switch back and forth between them visually from the taskbar.

I do not want to continue having to using Chrome so if someone has a solution that gives me chrome profiles without the google, I would love that so much.

If they don't play nice then fuck em

Just fucking switch

Just install AdGuard. Works great.

Eh.

After years and years of Chrome I just up and switched on Friday when they finally pulled the plug.

No regrets. No waving from the stern of the ship as I sail away from Chromeland.

If they choose to take away a valuable tool I consider necessary for browsing the web, then I have no loyalty to them and can easily move on. Took all of 10 seconds to import my shit into Firefox and be on my way.

Bye, Chrome. Thanks for being useful, until you weren't.

Firefox has a new profiles experience in v138 and up. Each can have its own extensions and settings. If you've got more than one you can switch in the taskbar. The only thing you might be missing is using multiple profiles at once?

Doesnt always work like that.

I hate that the source article title has a comma splice, and rules say we have to perpetuate that.

Ubo has a video in the reddit sub on how to do it.
