Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

I switched to Firefox and it's been wonderful. I wonder why I didn't switch earlier. It's only been a couple of months, but I can't imagine going back to a browser without multi-account containers.

The main thing holding me back is lack of pwa support, since there are a few apps that i need to use that only exist as progressive web apps on Linux. And using another browser for pwa has shown to be a bit cumbersome.

I know pwa is coming back to Firefox soon-ish.

Firefox on Windows has PWA support at least

Are you sure? Looks to me that you need at least need to install an add-on for it.

You appear to be right and I feel like I am going crazy now. I could have sworn I just did it. Might be either ViolentMonkey or ReactDevTools but I need to restart maybe
