A nice Firefox extension: Container Tab Groups
Something like Firefox multi account containers by default.
KOB25 thank for this great extension you suggested. I suffer from tab hoarding as a result of multiple jobs, and this is just great for organising them all.
@Vlad Perhaps I am biased, but I think this feature would be a great precursor to this thread's suggestion:
https://orionfeedback.org/d/9594-open-links-with-profile-like-safari-and-arc-browsers
it would be really cool if I could have multiple profiles that acted like separate browsers like they do now, and inside each profile I can also have multiple containers...
I recently switched from Firefox and definitely miss this feature. My biggest use case is setting up containers such as "Banking", and only access my home banking websites through that specific container. Same for social media, etc. I can keep it all seperate.
I support this feature request. This is a necessary one for my use case, and the main reason orion is not my main desktop browser yet (it is on my mobile though). My preferred implementation is something like firefox's multi-account containers. Different windows would not quite make it tbh.
My use case is that I am employed by 2 different institutions, both of which use microsoft online stuff. Thus, I need different containers to be able to access email, sharepoint etc, in addition to another container for being able to access outlook etc with a personal account. Different windows would not really be a good solution for that, I do not want different workspaces, just different cookie environments for some groups of tabs. I cannot think of a better way to do it that what firefox does with the containers (+ their multi-account containers extension).

mixchiev 100%. I'd instantly become a paying Kagi customer for this feature.
I have 7 different Google accounts and I need to be able to switch between them frequently - and often compare content across them side-by-side. The 2 click and reload to switch accounts in Gmail is horrific for my use case. And having to manage 7 Chrome windows is also a ridiculous solution. Firefox-style containers is the only way to do this.
It's also just better security wise. If I (or my kids) do something stupid that exposes my cookies and private session data while using a personal container, all the work stuff I'm logged into is unaffected.
I've also just wanted to pay for a privacy respecting version of Google for as long as I can remember.
With multi-account containers, the value proposition of Kagi with Orion becomes a no-brainer for me.
I agree with you @nathansherburn , there isn't another reasonable solution out there. I use multi-account containers specifically to support access to the same service via multiple accounts. Even during development and support, it's useful to be able to be an admin as well as a user to verify changes in design, ACLs, conditional rendering, etc.
From the security perspective, multi-account containers + Cookie AutoDelete on all non-containerized tabs means that I get the best of more-private-by-default + persisting sessions when I need/want them.
I've paid for the Orion+ subscription for a couple of years, and a Kagi subscriber for longer than that. I still use Firefox on desktop all the time, because their implementation of multi-account containers. Orion on mobile is great, but when I need to do anything substantive there's no replacement for this feature.
Is there any way we can add Orion++ to allow specific features to get accelerated? When I asked back in March 2023, the target was 127 / 128. I would happily pay to make this finally land.
