Firefox extensions to make remote work and school a little better

To each their own.

I don’t need a whole separate Chrome install just so I can open an AWS console in each one. Seems like a lot of overhead for two tabs.

Correct, you don't. Chrome profiles use the same installation of Chrome. There is no real overhead, and the only limitation is that profiles must use different windows.

I’m aware it’s a single installation of Chrome. But it runs a second copy for the other other profile. That’s a lot of resource overhead.

Also requiring another window is a lot of extra mental overhead to keep track of all the windows.

For example right now I have 12 Firefox containers running. They are 15 tabs in a single window.

With Chrome profiles, I’d need 12 windows, most with just one tab.
