I may get some naysayers for this, maybe because I'm on macOS and not Linux or Windows but...

Two features I love about Safari is:

- Pinch/Zoom to view all my tabs as windows to switch between tabs

- What at least appears to be total isolation between tabs when in private browsing mode. If I login to Facebook in one tab, then open up a new tab and go to Facebook, it will not see me as logged in.

Chrome nor Firefox have either of those features.

Do Firefox [temporary container tabs](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...) fit the bill?

Maybe but I never could figure out how to do it and safari did it out of the box with little to no configuration

That is an interesting Safari feature for private tabs, when I start needing to have more than two levels of isolation past the non-private universe and the private universe I start using profiles. My intuition that my private tabs are logged in and I can open more tabs with the same credentials is a big part of my workflow so I never thought of needing that further isolation.

Safari is just not usable without a Ublock or similar extension support. No, a desktop app ad blocker isn't a good alternative.

I did not know that thanks, been using Orion for a while now as my main browser and, oh wait, yes same thing. very nice. I only used firefox to test local webdev projects and still switched to librewolf which is fine. And I have a chrome browser so it can pull up the results of a local lighthouse test but that is it.
