Allow more than 2 separate website sessions (not Vivaldi sessions)

conticreative

Ok, this is going to be hard to explain due to Vivaldi internal use of the term "Session" for a "Group of tabs" (if I understand properly).
What I am requesting is also called "Session" but it is related to a Web Session within a specific website.
An example would be a site like Amazon. If I login with my account, I start a session with Amazon. If my wife then logs in as herself on Amazon, she has to log out and then login as herself. We cannot have 2 tabs each with a separate "session" and a different user.
If there is a better, less confusing term for this type of session, feel free to correct me.

My request is conceptually simple and it is already available on most modern browsers by using the "Private Window" feature.
In this case, I can login into Amazon using a regular tab/window, and my wife can start a separate session using her account login if she opens first a "Private Window".
However, on Vivaldi and most browsers, having two sessions is the limit.
I know there is a Chrome Based browser that allows for multiple sessions within the browser, but it is also one of the few subscription based web browsers out there.
That would not be terrible if their pricing was reasonable, but last I checked it was around $12 a month, and that's too much for a browser feature that I use occasionally, but not so much that it's worth the price for me. Frankly, it cost more than Netflix or Hulu and there is no comparison between the relative bang for the buck.

Let me give you a real life usage of this feature: I have recently finished an intra/extranet for a client. One website with 3 separate user levels. Each user group can access their own area, but cannot see the other group's content.
In order to properly test the website before the official release, I created a test account for myself in each group, plus the administrative account for the backend (The site was built in Joomla).

Currently, to test a scenario such as this one, I usually login as an administrator in Chrome, then I use Vivaldi, Firefox and Edge for the additional test accounts (incidentally, this is how I discovered Vivaldi).

This solution is not terrible, and using different browsers avoids some of the confusion that invariably is introduced with running concurrent browser sessions as separate users, but it would be nice if I could avoid having to use different browsers and instead have the ability to have multiple web sessions inside the same browser.
Chrome will never have this feature as it is too fringe for them (as it would be for Firefox or Edge) but for a browser like Vivaldi it could be the kind of feature that would attract many advanced users to it at the expense of Chrome.

Anyway, I hope my post was not very confusing, given the terminology and my examples. Frankly, I wouldn't even mind paying for it if the price is reasonable. I don't recall the name of the browser offering this feature, but I find their subscription fees a bit obnoxious considering my previous Netflix example, and as a browser it doesn't have other useful features that justify the price. If Vivaldi offered this for $10 a year, or even $20, I am sure other developers would be happy to pay it. $120+ a year is too much, especially when using separate browsers has few drawbacks (some issues with password reminds and bookmarks) and it's free.

Thank you for reading.

Hi, may as a workaround try "Manage other user" in
vivaldi://settings
It create a new profile but you can sync it for passwords, for example.
I have a test user with a clean profile to test bugs and so forth.

@conticreative Does Tab Profiles (Restrictions) cover what you want?

Different cookies/accounts for same site (Multi-Account Containers) or Multi-Account Containers? I think we have at least 3 requests for that (including this one).

Agreed. This seems to be a duplicate of the linked issues.
