I use workspaces in other browsers because they save my tabs regardless of the situation. Since some time, I have problems with stability of my system, resulting from problems with Nvidia drivers, and I have to hard reboot my computer from time to time. Browsers with workspaces save my tabs automatically in such situations. Also, I’m working regularly on 2 different computers, and I cannot easily transfer my tabs to another computer (just picking tabs from Brave sync isn’t the best solution).
- What do you like or dislike about the Workspaces/Multi-account containers/Profiles features you’ve used in other browsers?
I think I like it without any caveats. E.g. implementation of Workspaces in Edge is flawless imho, I can use the same workspaces everywhere (other than Edge being a problematic browser otherwise, you know why).
*What are the biggest frustrations you experience when trying to keep your different online activities separate and organized in your browser?
I use different browsers for that: each for different task (like streaming Netflix and stuff; another for work stuff and related research; another for shopping, etc.). With workspaces, I could use Brave for most if not all of these tasks.
*For what specific situations would you find it helpful to have separate “spaces” or “containers” within your browser?
Like above: work related stuff and research; shopping; daily browsing (for which I use Brave right now) and social media; streaming (Netflix and other streaming services); etc. - 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.
Workspaces (like in Edge or Opera) automatically save all tabs, which helps me when I have to hard reboot the computer. Also, I can open a workspace on another computer which I cannot do with Brave sync. Additionally, you can have just one profile open at a given time, and you can have many workspaces open simultaneously. - What problems do you encounter when switching between different online accounts (e.g., multiple email accounts, social media profiles, work accounts)?
That’s the least problematic thing right now: I can have different accounts open in different tabs, so this isn’t my biggest issue. - What kind of information do you want to keep separate between these “spaces” (e.g., Browse history, cookies, logins, extensions, themes)?
I don’t want to keep any information separate, besides just a workspace itself (so a given group of tabs, their sequence, etc.). However, if I could use a different theme, or color accent (like in Edge), for a given workspace, that would be nice. - When separating different logins/sessions, is having them visible and accessible within the same browsing window important to you?
I open different accounts in different tabs, if I need. So, if that counts as the same browsing window, then yes. Otherwise, I use different browsers (or workspaces) for different tasks. - Are there any specific websites or web applications that you would always want to open in a particular “space” automatically?
Since a workspace opens a saved set/group of tabs, wouldn’t that open a specific website or websites automatically already?
