My gripe on a browser is I want one that whe. I click a link it's opened in a container by default so it can't scoop up all my cookies and browsing history.
Right now my flow is Firefox focus as default browser, then if it's a page I want to view later or keep open I share it to Firefox. Kind of annoying but ideally I have this in just one browser.
And as I write this and checked, Firefox for Android now does this lol. Vivaldi, the one recommended in the article does not. Not to mention I try and support something that is not chrome-based. We need alternatives

Huh, I was just writing that I wished Firefox would do this, so thanks! I'll check it out. Much appreciated.
EDITED to add: unfortunately it's not for me. I tried it out in automatic mode (recommended) and while it worked perfectly, as soon as I enabled it my browser started to get unstable, pages would lock, mouse pointer would disappear, etc. And then as soon as I disabled the extension all went back to normal. So it's a no-go for now. But thanks for letting us know it's there.
