Workspaces with different sessions
-
@stardepp That works but having multiple Vivaldi windows open (one for each profile) is not as nice as swapping workspaces and only having a single Vivaldi window open
It is a workable solution - which I will use
If each Vivaldi window showed its profile name when you hover over it that would be easier to use (or allowed customisation of the taskbar icon)
Thank you for your suggestion and help

@teknolai said in Workspaces with different sessions:
I'd also love to see this feature! While two different profiles can work, swapping between workspaces is so much more slick. But when both personal and work mail is on Google, that doesn't work very well without separate Google sessions.
Idem, i thought workspace waste true separation... (cookies, cache... etc...)
It would be good to add this option : True Separation
-
Workspaces without cookie/session separation is useless (sorry Vivaldi devs).
"Profiles" is a Chromium feature (--profile-directory) and I don't want to use that, I don't want to have a separate window just to have "Workspaces" alternative.
The closest to what I want is Firefox Tab Containers but it doesn't have Workspace switching like Vivaldi. Firefox had Workspaces (Tab Groups) but they removed it after they removed XUL extensions.Also discussed here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/25289/multi-account-containers/

+1 on this feature.
I also added a feature request here, regarding similar feature found in Arc browser. They have really nailed this functionality by asking if you want to connect a workspace to a specific profile when setting up a new workspace.
-
I was using my workspaces successfully each with different google facebook instagram accounts, etc.... for a few months now (im new to vivaldi), however, sunday vivaldi froze and deleted my workspaces without even a record of the tabs saved there, and now i cannot use separate website accounts on my different workspaces. this is really sad and kinda defeats the purpose of the workspace. There is no benefit of separate workspaces if i have to re-login whenever i switch workspaces. Since i work from home this is a feature i needed the most and was looking for years to find. Vivaldi, please fix this bug.....we do not want separate profiles! We need truly independent workspaces, otherwise, I would just open two windows making one private so i could have separate browser sessions logged in.

Workspace without different sessions / profiles is indeed useless.
This should be a priority request.And before somebody come to say it is impossible in Chromium... Arc did so it is not impossible at all.

Hi, we have a very old an high voted feature request about this.
It is tagged as "NICE TO HAVE", nothing more to say.https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/25289/multi-account-containers

@mib2berlin thanks.
I replied there to give some suggestions... I mean Multi-account container like Firefox is too disorganized... you can have Tab with a profile or others side by side making users commit mistakes.I think the approach as each Workspace can have it own profile more interesting and better designed to avoid any type of confusion or mistake.

I don't think workspaces are useless without different sessions (they let me sandbox off having a bunch of tabs open for later without having a dozen Vivaldi windows open), however, I would like either workspace or tab specific session containers like Firefox does. The best example for this is how awful the account switcher on Twitter is.
Let's say I see a bunch of tweets on one account and want to interact with them on another. I have to effectively put them in a new tab, switch to the other account, then whichever tab I switched the account on will forcibly be moved to the home timeline.
This will then proceed to forcibly reload every single tab with a rather slow loading period for EACH individual post opened on a separate tab — that is, if it works at all. Sometimes, Twitter gets confused and you're effectively in a quantum both-accounts state. The account switcher displays the previous account but interactions should happen on the account you switched to. It does not let you interact with anything without resulting in an error. Likewise, if you use the account switcher to switch to either account, error message, forcing you to hit F5. This means I often stack up a bunch of useless tabs to "take care of later" when I finally switch accounts and then back because the process of multi-account is so slow and tedious.Truthfully, this should probably be fixed by Twitter, but knowing who currently runs it, he'd probably charge 20 bucks a month for it if he even has capable employees who could even fix this left working on the platform.
Firefox session containers, however, circumvent that problem entirely since Twitter doesn't need to change sessions since they're sandboxed from each other. The thing is, Firefox is not my main browser and I'm not gonna use it for basic social media use.

Please add this (ability to assign profiles to workspaces). I bet there are a lot of people like me leaving Arc that would like to switch to Vivaldi. SigmaOS also has this and I think Zen browser does too.
