They both have their usage. But I found switching profiles in Chrome is way more convenient: you can just click the top right button and choose another one.

For Firefox, in pre-57 era, there was an add-on called "Profilist" which can do the same (and better), but unfortunately you can't use it (or do something similar) more in web-ext.

With this

you don't have to click anything — press `Ctrl+.`, and a number button from 1 to (however many containers you have configured.)

I switched it to a different combination so it can be used with one hand.

I meant different profiles (with actual config folders for each profile), not accounts
