They are completely isolates browser settings. Account, session, settings, hardening, history, everything.

To a certain extent you can do that with multi-account containers.

For instance, I can have Amazon always open in my “Shopping” tab to keep it separate from my “Social Networks” tab.

I’d much rather use a separate Firefox (now Mozilla I think) account for my professional work. I also would prefer having separate extensions, notably Zotero connector is kind of useless for my personal browsing

Yes to some extent, but no addons, settings, user account, passwords, synchronized stuff etc.

Also afaik you can have profiles be encrypted with different master passwords

I use multiple accounts with Firefox containers, on office.com specifically. One container for my normal account and one for my admin. It works great for me but maybe there are other sites it doesn’t like.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
