Multi-Account Containers
-
@mahirushiina the technical basis of
Chromiumstill is the limiting factor.The storage separation there only allows for a single context per window.
And only for 'normal' and 'incognito' mode per profile.There is a nice current summary about the actual technical in-depth show-stoppers.
-
@becm Oh. Is there no other way? For e.g., can't it be implemented even on the Workspace level? Is Chromium the limiting factor for tree-like tabs as well?
-
@mahirushiina It strikes me that in order to make multi-account containers, Vivaldi would have to build a whole new profiling system into the UI layer, replacing Chromium profiles - a major undertaking, huge lump of code, and possibly performance-killing. Tree-style tabs will be massively finicky to code properly, but strike me as a more likely feature to eventually appear in Vivaldi.

@Ayespy Oh. At least sounds good to hear regarding the tree-like tabs.

@KaKi87 said in Multi-Account Containers:
@drannex42 No, because as its name says, it's a switcher, i.e. it doesn't allow using multiple accounts from the same site at the same time in separate tabs.
The extension SessionBox allows multiple accounts in separate tabs at same time
-
@pukkandan Whether that's the case or not, this one is paid, so no thanks.

My point is: The extension proves that the feature is theoretically possible without needing a "whole new profiling system" as is being claimed here
-
@pukkandan SessionBox is not merely an extension. It's a full-on app that contains its own profiling system and its own sessions scheme. It "isolates" individual tabs by actually turning each such tab into its own session under its own profile.

I am talking about the SessionBox extension, not the SessionBox One app. The extension does not need the app to work and works just fine on vivaldi.
SendWin is yet another extension with similar functionality, though more buggy from my experience.

A feature like this would be a perfectly workable alternative to Multi-Account containers IMHO.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/features/workspacesThis is honestly what Vivaldi workspaces really should have been from the start. Each workspace having separate cookies.
-
@EndlessFields yes, Workspaces would be great if they'd be able to behave like Multi-Account-Containers.
The Edge feature does not do that.
It stores site data locally (all in one bin), it can mirror a group of open tabs to people you choose.
So same asVivaldi, plus a privacy issue. -
@becm Doh! You are absolutely correct. I misread what they had posted about this feature. They were stating that logins and cookies would not be shared with other people invited to the workspace, not that they wouldn't be shared between workspaces. Also yes, I hate the whole idea of sharing a workspace of web pages. Who's doing this? Is this really something people wanted?
Well back to being stuck with no alternatives other than separate browser profiles. I will give credit to Edge in this area, as it can automatically route by URL into different Profiles. I wish Vivaldi was able to do this, rather their feature only can route to specific Workspaces.
-
I need this so that different workspaces can use different VPNs in different locations. I need the workspaces to be able to have independent extensions.

This post is deleted! -
It is disappointing that this isnt a feature yet. I used Chrome with multiple profiles because of having different clients with different accounts and sometimes in the same platforms. Really hope this can be added in the future.
(I just discovered Vivaldi recently and I've been loving the features for the most part)
-
+1 on this feature. Or atleast add the ability to use different profiles for different workspaces like ARC browser.
-
Another person who wants this feature.
It has been six years since this thread was started though, have they ever acknowledged this feature request?
-
@Hatlerish One of the Vivaldi developers has explained why Chromium-based browsers cannot do multi-account containers (chromium can only associate one profile per window). Something similar, but different would have to be developed. Extension builders have tried to ape the functions of multi-account containers, but have not been entirely successful.

@Ayespy It would be great if workspaces could isolate in some way. perhaps they cannot.
However if we had a way to use the workspace rules (or profile rules) to direct to certain profiles (if that's the only place the isolation can occur), that would be helpful!
