Sharing first ideas about implementing profiles in Orion

Profiles like Chromium browsers
- Edited
Vlad FWIW, I like all of these options, a small addition I would propose, is to have an option for your entire browser window to match the chosen profile color. It helps differentiate the profiles from one another.
Additionally, I want to highlight that I currently use brave with multiple profiles, one of them is my ‘default’ profile, the rest are specialized.
In order to open a link in a different profile, I use an app called velja, that acts as a default browser (hotkey + click on link lets you chose different browsers/browser profiles).
All of this to say that I would like orion profiles to work with tools like velja in order to let users open links in their chosen browser and or profile.
LoudSoftware Yup, I have Velja too, support for that would be cool. Not a priority, but cool.
Vlad that looks really nice! those snapshots (assuming they work like I'd assume) sound amazing too, I dont think I have seen something like that yet?

gitarero164 Snapshot will allow you take a snapsnot of all windows/tabs in your profile in a point of time and later restore it (with automatic snapshots every X available too). When Orion does things we always strive for better than current best 
Vlad Love that feature and that attitude!

+1 I absolutely love Orion. All it needs is a Chromium-like profiles feature and I'm deleting all my other browsers!

Well, glad we closed this one
Vlad
Thank you. Read to test this now.
Found some bugs. The profile list is not updating across profiles. Here is a video:
Great work on Profiles, thanks for bringing it to Orion.
I would love the following addition somewhere in the future.
To be able to tie URLs to a certain profile. So if I open that URL it switches too it's connected profile.
I can then e.g. sandbox all Google products in one profile.
janpeeters please make a separate feature request for this

janpeeters That sounds like the Velja integration for profiles that some people already asked for, like @LoudSoftware in Post 40 of this thread, would be a cool feature.

backpacked Please open a new bug report for this
janpeeters We plan to have this for session/container tabs. but if you really want it at the profile level then please make a separate suggestion and document how do you imagine the UX for this to be
You mean like this?
Changing toolbar chrome to match the profile color. Changing the accent color in the profile to match profile color. Already work in progress!
Vlad Looks amazing! Anything that helps visually differentiate profiles is all I need, I like the muted colors in dark mode <3
