Hi, thanks a lot for considering this feature i would really love to have it on Brave!!
What do you like or dislike about the Workspaces/Multi-account containers/Profiles features you’ve used in other browsers?
- I really love that i can have as many different sessions as i want in one profile and in one window, it makes my browsing experience just much better without having to juggle multiple windows. I’ve been using the Zen browser (and previously firefox) in parallel because they support workspaces and mutli account containers but if Brave implements this feature then there would be no reason for me to use any other browser. As for what i dislike about their implementations, i would say i wish I could set domain-based mapping, whereby github is always opened on my work container but ycombinator always opens on my personal one. Another thing i wish they had is being able to filter browsing history based on the container.
What are the biggest frustrations you experience when trying to keep your different online activities separate and organized in your browser?
- it’s a pain having to use multiple profiles just so i can have persistent sessions, it makes my workflow far from seamless. So for tasks that involve using multiple sessions I would just use Zen instead.
Why doesn’t the profile functionality work for you? You can have multiple profiles, each working as a clean slate for the browser in the practical sense.
- Profiles force me to open a new window for each account, which clutters my desktop and disrupts my flow. i’m constantly jumping between windows and losing track of tabs and getting slowed down. I need a seamless, all-in-one view to switch between work, personal, and social accounts quickly and profiles just feel too isolated and clunky for that use case.
For what specific situations would you find it helpful to have separate “spaces” or “containers” within your browser? (e.g., work projects, personal projects, different clients, social media management, etc.)
- I’d use separate spaces for work stuff like emails, project tools, and client accounts, plus one for personal browsing and social media. So i’d create a container with a client’s name and have all accounts related to their projects open there.
What kind of information do you want to keep separate between these “spaces” (e.g., Browse history, cookies, logins, extensions, themes)?
- mainly cookies and logins, the others would be really nice to have.
When separating different logins/sessions, is having them visible and accessible within the same browsing window important to you?
- Yes, this is the most important part about it, being able to right click my new tab button and choosing in which container i want the new tab to be, right clicking a tab and transfering it to another container, and setting default containers for each workspace is very useful.
Are there any specific websites or web applications that you would always want to open in a particular “space” automatically?
- yes, reddit, github, yt, calendar, certain blogs, aws console, etc
in addition, i think split windows with vertical and horizontal panes would complement this feature greatly!
I hope to see this feature implemented in Brave it would make it a one stop browser for me
