@Vlad I saw that RC 128 was released not too long ago, and was hoping to see multi-account container support in there, but no luck. Could you please let us know if this feature is still on the roadmap?

Something like Firefox multi account containers by default.

Created an account to comment on this. I use containers to completely segregate all Facebook properties (Facebook, Instagram , etc). Most web based companies are doing tracking, but the idea of those Facebook Like buttons everywhere tracking my every move is very unappealing.
apastuszak You can achieve the same with a profile in Orion.

Vlad Given that one doesn't always know in advance whether an unfamiliar website (or a different page on, say, eBay) is going to have one of Facebook's "like" buttons, I would think one would wind up having to create a new profile whenever opening a search result on an unfamiliar website (or whenever clicking on a search result in eBay). The Facebook container takes care of that for you. In Firefox, if you open a page that has a Facebook "like" button on it, the extension's icon shows a purple dot with an exclamation point, and if you click the icon you get a message letting you know that Facebook doesn't see that you've been to that page, but warning you that if you click the "like" button, that page will be tied to your Facebook identity (I'm assuming that you'd have to be signed in to Facebook in order for this to happen, but I don't know for sure).
Vlad Can I force all Facebook and Instagram links to open in a certain profile?

apastuszak No but that is a different ask, already addressed with a a different feature suggestion here.

Please see #4417 for this feature

Basically, the feature idea would be a bit like Arc where the Browser would have a hierarchy like:
Browser Window -> Profile (If two profiles or more are active right now) -> Tabs under that profile.
Profiles would share extensions if the user requests so.
The idea is to be able to be able to login with various accounts on the same service concurrently.
E.g. Logged in two different AWS accounts at the same time and able to multi-task.
I'm aware this may be very costly feature-wise depending on how Orion was coded.
eirk changed the title to Multiple profiles/spaces with their own tabs .
not quite sure what u mean. i do use arc, but ur explanation is kinda confusing.
are you looking for how arc makes one window basically have everything, swiping between sidebars for different spaces (which can potentially switch between profiles)?

No, imagine opening multiple incognito mode sessions with all extensions working by default, but keep them all in the same browser window.
all private tabs are isolated from one another. i think this already is the behavior you're asking for?

CostcoFanboy The ask is not clear. Assume we are not familiar with Arc. Can you describe the journey from where Orion is now to achieve tne minium feature set you want?

Possible duplicate of multi-account containers
This ask is describing multiple different “profiles/containers” that can exist under a single window and share extensions, but have separate cookies/site data. (for the purpose of logging into sites under different accounts)
“Sessions” in Orion will fulfill this request.

People need to be more patient. It's only been just over 36 months since this request was first made. It's not like there are any other browsers with this type of feature available that one can look at for inspiration. Let alone source code to browse. At least if there was already some type of mockup, it might make it easier to figure out how to implement.
But things take time and I'm sure when MacOS 20 is released, everyone will be able to use containers, or sessions, or buckets, or grease pots, or cubbies, or dank-pockets or whatever you'd like to call the fature. We all know what it means.
So, I'm curious. If I have a certain URL set to open in a certain profile, will embedded objects from that URL on another URL be blocked.
For example, if I tell Orion always open Facebook in a unique profile, will that prevent Facebook Like buttons from loading and displaying on another URL? So it doesn't just isolate a webpage to a container, it does the same for content on every page you visit.
When I have the Firefox Facebook container installed, all Like buttons, embedded Instagram photos, and any other embedded Facebook properties are blocked.
For inspiration, go take a look at the Floorp browser and their workspace's implementation. I am using this everyday.

It would be an excellent feature if Orion implemented the ability to assign specific containers to individual bookmarks. For example, Firefox allows associating entire domains with containers but doesn't allow assigning containers to individual bookmarks. Currently, Firefox is quite limiting with this feature as it forces you to bind an entire domain to a container instead of allowing you to save multiple bookmarks from the same domain to different containers.
This is an unofficial Firefox add-on that does exactly what I mean in case you need more information on what I mean: https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container
