I also used Firefox’s containers a lot. In my case, I often need to log into multiple AWS simultaneously, or at least bounce between them quickly enough to be a major hassle if I had to log out of one to log into the other. Now I use Safari’s profiles to do that.

What’s your Firefox use case that Orion doesn’t handle? (Sincere question; that wasn’t meant as “it works for me so stop complaining!” snark.)

I'll be honest, I was waiting for Orion RC 128 to get released, since that's when the multi-container feature was supposed to land (according to [1]). I just updated Orion RC, and the profile management is pretty nice, but seems to be missing some things: (1) assigning full or partial URLs to always open in a specific profile, and (2) profile assignment on a per-tab basis, rather than per-window.

Other than that, the browser is pretty amazing. Blazingly fast, support for both Firefox and Chrome extensions, and lots of customization. There's a lot to love about it, and as soon as the two features above land I'll likely be switching to it as my primary driver (on MacOS)
