thomas-louvigne commented 9 years ago

Hi, I love qupzilla , it could be my main browser but it misses just one plugin : "the multi profiles switching button" ! I have many social accounts (FB, Twitter, Gmail ... ) I need to use them without disconect each account.

On firefox I use multifox https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/multifox/

This is a good idea to have it by default, currently you can't start 2 different profiles in QupZilla at same time, it would be lovely to get it working when you have multiple contexts at same time.

As workaround, I just discovered you can start any profile with the parameter "--no-remote" and will let you keep 2 or more instances at same time. Is very important to keep all your instances with this parameter or will not allow to start a second profile, even with the --profile parameter.

I think as an easy and straightforward solution we can use QWebEngineProfile in top of QupZilla's built in profile manager. I mean current profiles will be considered as global profile that each one has one or more local profile that are managed by QWebEngineProfile, and off-the-record profile will be used as private tab :

+ my_home_profile
|
|‎-‎-‎- my main identity
|
|‎-‎-‎- my public identity
|
+ my_work_profile
|
|‎-‎-‎- my work f‎o‎r company A
|
|‎-‎-‎- my work f‎o‎r company B
|
|‎-‎-‎- my university work

@nowrep What's your idea?
