Was just coming back to this thread to say I use the Multi-Account Containers extension to isolate my Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Google Search sessions from the rest of my web browsing, and I highly recommend it.

The terminology is a little confusing: Containers or "Container Tabs" is a session-management tool that's baked into Firefox, while Multi-Account Containers is an extension on top of that that allows you to automatically sort specific domains into containers, so when I open e.g. a YouTube link it automatically appears in a YouTube container, which knows nothing about my Google account. IMO the functionality of the extension (which was written by Mozilla) should be added to the browser itself.

Does this work for separating Google accounts?

Right now I use safari, chrome, firefox, and edge to keep the four identities I use for different projects separate thanks to Google not playing nice at all with the GCP account you are using not being the primary Google Signin.
