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.
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?

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.

If you have to use a Chromium browser. Just use Brave. It haves a built in ad blocker.

Firefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.
Install uBO?

My new rent portal is one of these sites. Can't just not pay rent because I don't like chromium browsers.

On iOS the Orion browser lets you use Firefox or chrome mods.
This. Orion is the best browser for iOS.

Have you looked into Firefox Multi Account Containers? I use this extension to quickly switch between multiple tab groups, some of which do use SSO while using the same service (e.g. Outlook). Plus, you can easily create new tabs like Ctrl + Shift + (#1-9) to open a container of your choice among other shortcuts. I know it doesn't meet all your criteria, but each tab group has its own colour and/or icon to make them distinct, while being in the same window

Blame Apple for that, as for the longest time they only allowed using the Safari engine on iOS. Apparently that's still the case outside the EU now, meaning Mozilla would need to maintain two versions on iOS.
On any other operating system, Firefox is by far the best at blocking ads with uBlock Origin.
Orion browser on iOS supports Firefox and Chrome extensions. It’s relatively new still, but I’ve been using it without any issue with uBO

You mean the browser that was caught injecting affiliate codes on cryptocurrency sites and misleading users into making donations that were collected by brave instead of the supposed recipient? That browser?

Rent portal? You mean bank account with direct debit and/or electronic transfer. What is a rent portal? How can you possibly benefit from having a website just to act as a middle man to collect your personal info?

Can't wait till Kagi Browser releases their Linux version of a browser based on webkit, but it's prob at least another year or more frmo being released and Gnome Web is so featureless it's useless and can't even play YouTube videos half the time in 2025...

That's my general attitude, but I need these for work.

Just use edge, it’s chrome based. Or any other chrome based browsers that aren’t google chrome?
Edge is also killing Ublock

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.
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried it for YouTube cause they slow Firefox down to a crawl but it didn't seem to do anything. Maybe the extension I downloaded was at fault but I couldn't find an easy way to just do it in Firefox without an extension.

"While users can still make uBlock Origin work, it will eventually stop working altogether, and no method will be able to mend it. Therefore, users will have to either switch to Manifest V3-based blockers, such as uBlock Lite, or move to browsers that still support Manifest V2. Firefox, Opera, and Brave, for example, do not plan to ditch those extensions just yet."
Just fucking switch already!
