Or disable referrer info or min TLS version or anything else that might break websites can be used in one shortcut but not the other. I can for instance disable cypher suites in the taskbar shortcut but not in the desktop shortcut. With Chrome Stable and Dev I can use different command line switches on the desktop shortcuts and then different ones on the taskbar shortcuts. If a site doesn’t render right in a FF based browser I have these two browsers to see if the rendering issue changes, most of the time I don’t see a difference. I mostly use Dev to access Drive, Gmail and Google Voice. Different profiles used in FF and Nightly, of course.Ĭhrome Stable and Dev are used to access sites that use flash since I don’t have flash installed on my system. I quit using FF sync a few months ago, I’ve always backed up my profiles locally anyway. I’ve allowed studies to be installed and run but have yet to see one. Nightly is not locked down as much as FF is, I’m allowing ‘some’ data collection and using most of but now all of the about:config changes for security and privacy that I do in Firefox. Now You: Do you use multiple browsers or different profiles?įirefox Stable and Nightly, Waterfox, Pale Moon, Chrome Stable and Dev, Vivaldi, and IE11.įF is my primary/default browser. That's great as I tend to cover web browsers here a lot on the site.
The same can be achieved using Firefox profiles or even with a single browser if you set it up very careful (deleting or blocking cookies, content blocking, using containers or other functionality, using private browsing mode), but the latter is not as easy to maintain or setup.Īnother benefit of this approach is that I'm always up to date when it comes to new browser features or changes that developers introduce. So, I keep certain tasks separated by using different browsers for that. Also, I don't have to juggle between multiple browser windows of the same browser which I find more difficult and less intuitive than using multiple browsers for the same purpose. I can keep the browsing history and cookies in Firefox, keep some cookies in Chrome to stay logged in, and delete anything in Opera after browsing sessions. It is also not possible to steal login data if I don't log in to specific services using that browser. I don't fall for phishing attacks but if I would, that phishing URL would open in the default web browser which I don't use for sign-in activity. Security too benefits from such a setup as it limits the attack surface for certain types of attacks.
