Oh good, the current profile management is a little bit clunky. Having the option to launch random profiles wherever and whenever would be nice.

I this a reskin of about:profiles?

I wish there was a feature like this on YouTube. I'd love a profile for watching educational videos, a profile for feeding me cool videos when I'm high, and a profile for when my kids want to watch stuff. I'm tired of vibing and listening to music videos only to get hit with a language learning podcast or Disney songs.

It's insane that they have an incognito mode that still serves up ads even though I have premium.

Youtube > Profile picture > Settings > Add or manage your channel(s) > create a channel

You basically get a new "profile" with your own subs, history, profile picture, and comments and premium/channel subscriptions apply to all of them

They do have categories and I've tried to put different channels in different categories, but the thing is just so hard to use I gave up.

It's quite surprising how bad Google can be at UX.

tried tab groups, waste of time. trying to save my pinned tabs from disappearing. have to avoid closing single tab windows last. opens on the single tab and pins are lost. keep about 20 pinned in one window.

pins are attached to the specific window. if you close the windows one by one it trashes them. use the quit function in the menu on the right, that it does not trash the windows, each of them will reopen next timealong with the pins

Zen has "workspaces", which I don't get at all. Profiles seems like too much, containers works fine for me.

Crazy all the useless nonsense Mozilla has room for, since they helped kill RSS by dropping browser UI support for it for "simplification". It was the same rationale for removing live bookmarks and Shift+Enter to add .net to an address and Ctrl+Shift+Enter for .org.
