    I bet those sites will play nice if you switch user-agents.

      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.

        Firefox has user-agent switcher extensions, alternatively you can use invidious to get around YouTube’s bullshit.

        I host a public Invidious instance for folks with a Canadian IP - inv.halstead.host

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

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

        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?

    Then you use Chrome for sites that require it and Firefox for everything else.

      Precisely what I do

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

      well this is just silly advice. that’s like saying “Don’t use Chrome, use Vivaldi” it’s all chromium thus it will also disable uBlock.

      Get off ALL chromium based browsers. I loved Vivaldi but I haven’t used it in well over a year. Switch to FF or a Fork of it like Floorp OR if you’re like me and don’t like Mozilla use QuteBrowser and never have to worry about anything ever again.

        Well some haven’t disabled ublock yet. So it isn’t that silly if chrome based is what they need to run for certain sites. Just use something that is based off it and isn’t stoping ublock yet.

  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?

    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 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.
