Do any of you have two browser instances for personal and work things? I do at least, and it's so annoying when I click a link and it opens in my personal browser instead of my work one.

So I made a script that I set as default browser that checks the link and opens the correct browser. Oh boy do I love Linux :D

Firefox containers. The default container is sandboxed.

@cprn That's pretty cool. Will check it out :)

I have a work script which starts the DB and cloud emu containers in the background, the API and other headless solutions in terminals, the android emulator, all VSCode instances, logs the timestamp into a timesheet file, replaces ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini with a prepared file to change the default profile, and launches the browser. When that browser exits, the end time is logged and everything is torn down except for VSCode which doesn't provide a programmatic API to close windows. I'm still looking for a solution, maybe something with DBus.

@lorentz Sounds cool. Can't just SIGTERM it? :)

@ScriptCoded Yeah but then all windows reopen when I relaunch VSCode manually to work on my own projects. Although now that I said this, I remembered that VSCode has a distinct global config directory, so I could do the same thing I do for Firefox and swap it out. That way I can even install plugins and authenticate with Github for my company without influencing my personal setup.

Five Chrome user accounts, one for my personal, 4 for clients I work for. Plus I use incognito when I need to revisit the page as a new visitor.

Then of course when working on internet stuff for smart TV's I need Chrome Debugger browser 49.somethingsomethingsomething specifically, otherwise I can't see what's going on

- but ofcourse, if it's a 230+ model I have to use Chrome Debugger browser 64.somethingsomethingsomething.

nah, i only have a normal browser and a porn browser.

@Midnight-shcode That's called incognito 🥸

@ScriptCoded nah, it's called Firefox

@Midnight-shcode That's normal browser

@ScriptCoded that's a porn browser, because it centers images open in new tab, has per-tab zoom (as opposed to opera's/chrome's "zoom is applied globally"), and has scrollable tab list (as opposed to opera's/chrome's "tabs get so tiny it's difficult to click them")

@Midnight-shcode haha your obviously very read up on this. Won't argue

@Midnight-shcode I use profiles for that too.
