Explanation of the state of uBlock Origin and other blockers for Safari

I went through the process of tearing away from Chrome. I only aspect that was holding me back was my stored passwords in Chrome and shared seamlessly with Android password manager.

Exported the passwords and imported it into Enpass. That was the first step in liberation.

I then decided to keep my personal and work related browsing separate especially since both require a google account (Gsuite at work). I wanted an ability to open the browser of my choice based on the URL I click and work anywhere on MacOS.

I implemented a simple URL handler that I register as default browser and that opens the clicked URL in appropriate browser:

It is not a very polished implementation but has been working reliably so far.

With that, I am now able to switch between any browser without any lock in.

Have you looked into Firefox Containers for separating your personal and work accounts?

Another vote for Firefox Containers here. I do use Safari for my personal stuff, but Firefox Containers is _extremely_ useful when you work with multiple clients and have to switch between contexts for the same site (in my case the Azure portal and various e-mail accounts).

One container per customer, and it's all neat and tidy.
