Warming up on #Caturday Eve while the snow falls outside

A while back, I turned one of our bookcases into a climbing gym for kiki by just sticking some thin wooden panels in it, weighted down by the books. We sometimes give her treats by placing them on the higher steps, so she often climbs up looking for secret treats.

Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

Add-on: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

Thanks - I'm a Firefox user, but wasn't aware of this extension. Exactly what I need.

What's Google doing with Chrome, beyond the previous data-grabbing features?

@ricci But.. It's in the core, I did not install anything, and I have used these containers for multiple years now.

What I did install is the Facebook Container that _automatically_ encloses all Meta websites in a separate container, so they don't get cross-site data: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

@ricci I wish this would also separate the extensions and their settings. For example, I could have a container tab just for Google services which has the ad blocker disabled, while it’s on in every other tab

Yesterday I discovered comma github.com/nix-community/comma and it is going to change my life forever, I think.

It allows you to run basically anything on #NixOS without installing it. (This is possible without comma, but comma makes it trivial). This is amazing for those things that you need to use like once a year.
