Multiple profiles have never been well implemented in any other browser. It's the only feature keeping me on Chrome.

Multi Account Containers in Firefox[0][1] works really well for me.

I have tabs for administrative work accounts and personal work accounts, along with restricting anything from Facebook into it's own container[2].

I actually love how multiple profiles are implemented in Firefox.

I have a keybinding on my system to launch "firefox -P" so that I can pick which profile to launch an instance of right away. I juggle between 5 different profiles at any time and it works exactly as I'd like it to. Additionally, it is much easier to do than setting up a complex multi-account container setup.
