I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

I personally switched back to Firefox after 13 years earlier this year and was surprised just how easy it was. All my main extensions exist on Firefox and it gave me an opportunity to remove some extension bloat at the same time. Highly recommend.

Try container tabs!

They have separate sessions so you can be logged in to the same site on multiple accounts. This is extreamly useful for stuff like being logged in to github using work account and company account or other sites where you just need many accounts. Aws is another good example.

There is also temporary containers that leave no trace at all.

Container Tabs sounds so useful, but fair warning to anyone else looking to check it out... I think it's kinda buggy. My sessions got all fucked up when I tried using it. I ended up removing it entirely and just going without.

I've never encountered them being buggy, but I have encountered them being confusing and frustrating, like if a site wants to use Facebook to log you in, but you have Facebook running in a separate container, so it doesn't work no matter how many times you sign in to Facebook. It's easy to have happen in you forget you're using containers.

been using it for years without issue. What you experienced is a fluke

I mean… ok. Doesn’t change my experience.
