Playing with #Vivaldi browser right now as a replacement for #chromium . I'd been using Chromium for a few sites that don't work on Firefox or don't work reliably, but #firefox is still my browser of choice so far. As much as I don't want the web to be built around Chrome/Chromium, I gotta say I'm getting rather tired of Firefox, but its container feature keeps me around, but if'n Vivaldi has a similar feature, that might be the stake in it, just gotta figure out how to use it as its an incredibly complex browser, it has so many more features than I'm used to seeing.

Vivaldi has Workspaces and profiles. Neither are like Containers in Firefox: profiles are completely separated browser instances that share nothing except for the version you have updated to, whereas Workspaces (within one profile) give structure, but pages share cookies. So with workspaces you cannot log in to some site with two different accounts at the same time, you'll have to use profiles for that.

@WildEnte Hmmm, Ok, thanks, was going to look into this if/when I got a chance. Not sure I like either of those options, I'll have to think on it.

EDIT
Ok, looking at it, Workspaces are like Tab Groups on Firefox, Profiles is definitely like Containers, but Containers are more elegant, and possibly a bit more flexible since you can create containers to specific sites companies, like my Amazon container doesn't just grab Amazon automagically, but also GoodReads, IMDB and other Amazon properties.
