I'm juggling multiple vendor portals and accounts, and it's getting really tricky to keep everything isolated across different browsers. I'm looking for a tool or method that allows for easy switching of identities or sessions without needing to resort to full virtual machines or Remote Desktop setups. Any recommendations?

Have you tried using command-line switches? You can create fully separated and portable profiles with commands like `chrome.exe --user-data-dir=path` or `firefox.exe -profile path`. It works on various platforms, and you can run multiple profiles without interference. Just keep in mind that certain sensitive data isn't portable, but everything else, like bookmarks and settings, will be preserved!
I use Firefox with its Multi-Account Containers feature, and it's been a game-changer for switching identities, especially when managing the M365 admin center. It's really seamless!
I also use Google Chrome profiles. It's super handy because it keeps everything separate while letting me keep tabs open too!
On Edge, I find that using Profiles works just fine for me. It's straightforward and keeps things separate.
Same here! We disabled private/incognito modes and told everyone to just create profiles in Chrome or Edge.
I've heard great things about 1Browser. It creates separate profiles that don't share cookies or sessions, which is perfect for managing logins across different vendors without mixing things up.
Totally agree! Firefox containers are fantastic for this.
