How to manage too many browser tabs in Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi
-
@pesala not sure I understand what you’re meaning. Vivaldi cannot be installed multiple times aside it were a different application each time. It will simply over right existing version. If you are meaning make multiple copies of Vivaldi in the application directory, The problem would be that they still share a common set of support files and will still behave exactly the same way as every other renamed coffee. If you are referring to installing the beta and development versions alongside the release version, that would work so long as I am only needing to use three separate profiles. I currently need and use more than that with Firefox.

@ldmartin1959 You can install Vivaldi Stable & Vivaldi Snapshot side by side on Mac, that's all.

@ldmartin1959 I fear that reference compares apples to rutabaga.

Not sure that is an option on a Mac
Most switches are OS agnostic or otherwise explicitly stated so it should work just fine.
Would that prevent the last active profile from opening simultaneously with the specified profile?
Of course, one shortcut would link to the main profile "Default", the next one to "Profile 1" etc.
And would it launch each profile as it’s own instance?
Why would you need such thing in the first place as every tab is its own process and sandboxed, but in that case you could use the
--user-data-dir
switch and specify different profile locations for each profile.I don’t accept the widely held notion that a “workaround” is an actual “solution”
Chromium switches are not "workarounds" they 're part of the browser tweaking, similar to what you can do with
about:config
in Firefox. -
