Something like Firefox multi account containers by default.

Hey everyone,
I think it’s my first time posting, I will try being more active here in the future.
Really love what you are trying to accomplish with Orion and Kagi Vlad and your team !
I’ll try to support you as much as I can.
I also wanted to say that I also find those features, profiles (sessions ?) and containers very useful.
I’m just here to give it my upvote

CharlieCortial We have a plan for implementing this. It will be called Session tabs. We just need to make careful UI choices as Orion has tab groups, soon profiles and then session tabs. It can be too much for new users to handle.

Vlad No problem, I’m very curious what this future feature will be, but I understand it’s really complicated to do.
You’re doing a terrific job
Now that Profiles are up and running, can this mean that Multi Accounts Containers are in development?
Selknam yep they are.

We have been making good progress on this since we released Profiles last month.
Here is the the full functionality speced out in this mockup. We call these Session tabs as it makes much more sense thatn Containers. Feedback appreciated! Enjoy!
One thing that I find missing in Firefox's container tabs is the ability to sort my containers into folders or groups. It would be really nice if Orion had some sort of folder system for sessions tabs.
Looks really nice so far!
behaviour request: New tabs opened from a current session would inherit the same session. For example, CMD+Click to open in a new tab would have the same session.
as alastor57 said here, i uploaded a screenshot on how Tabs can be Sorted by Container, so you dont have to look at everytab to identify on what container is it running
See the screenshot

I am so excited to see you’re working on this. Switched from LibreWolf and this was the last thing missing. Bravo!
You’ll be getting my money soon.
And yes, the name Sessions is so much better than Containers.
One of the major benefits to me of container tabs in Firefox/librewolf is the ability to specify a proxy, such as a vpn location. Could this be added to the feature list please? Then it’s truly complete for me.
Vlad Yes, I understand it is generally handled at OS level on macOS.
Firefox has, with an extension, the avbility to specify separate proxies for each container. This is useful for VPNs.
I believe therefore it is related to containers in this case. Something I would love to have. Thanks!
Done via Profiles
TheOtherKai Not really, we want to support sessions(containers) too.
Vlad One thing that I find missing in this is the ability to assign a session to a saved window.
If that could get implemented along with the rest of what you've shown, I think I can switch to Orion full time which is really exciting since I've been stuck ping ponging between Arc and Firefox + Sidebery.
GreyAsteroid How do you do it in Arc?

Vlad Arc uses profiles that work like containers instead of what Orion calls profiles. There are "spaces" which would be the equivalent to Orion's saved windows and through a couple different menus the spaces can be assigned a profile.
This allows easy switching of containers via the space switcher at the bottom of the sidebar.
I should note I'm using the canary version so I'm unsure if the stable version is different atm.
