With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Waiting for Firefox to implement native browser profile switching UI (not container tabs, not desktop shortcuts, not janky workarounds/hacks) and I’ll be there full time.

You can just install an addon for that but it’d be great if that would come with ff, I agree.

You can go to about:profiles and save it to your favorites bar. Boom - instant profile switcher. I put the bookmark in the top left of my bookmarks bar on all my profiles and use it to switch between them.

You mean the -ProfileManager (-P) flag? That dialog has been there for a long time. I think in some situations it gets displayed automatically at startup and that’s how I discovered it.
