I mean, Firefox has had profiles for years before chrome did. And then they had multi-account containers and chrome still doesn’t have those. And now they have a new distinct feature that they’ve given the same name of profiles that is just slightly different from the already existing profiles feature.

@tyler Thanks for the insights! Looks like the "marketing push" of profiles after the recent update has made some of us (finally) aware of that feature 😂

It’s kinda understandable, but you should reasonably assume that Firefox did it first and anything chrome does after the fact followed that, unless Google thinks it will help them keep a tighter grip on the market, like Manifest V3.
