Ask HN: Multiple Browsers to manage multiple sites

If I want to manage 10 sites, each in it's own browser with its own gmail, dashboard etc, how would I go about doing that?

I tried site specific browsers like Chrome but they don't allow me to open 10 gmail accounts in 10 separate SSBs (signing into an account in one SSB logs me off from a previous account in another SSB)

Edit: I'm looking for a solution in Windows.

Does this work for you? http://onlinedev.blogspot.com/2008/01/run-multiple-versions-...

This looks like it! Can I run 10 browsers with 10 email accounts (1 in each)?

I can't see why not. Create 10 profiles, and login to each of them separatly with no-remote. Better yet, you can copy the firefox launch icon, go to properties and modify the firefox command like so:

firefox.exe -no-remote -ProfileManager profile1 firefox.exe -no-remote -ProfileManager profile2

etc. and have 10 shortcuts for each profile.

Figure it's faster and easier. Thanks for your help tho!

Chrome briefly had profile support in one of the dev builds but it has since been removed. I hope they add it back soon as I found it very useful for this sort of situation.

Something like this: http://fluidapp.com/ maybe?

Sorry, I should have specified I was looking for an answer in Windows.

Same problem. Logging into a new gmail account in one logs out a previous account in another.

is the problem only with gmail (google services) or you want to access any sites?? Why not create different versions of browsers (then you should go to FireFox) and every browser uses it's own cookies.

Simply, you need to know how to hack FireFox

Well, I'm about to launch 10 sites and I wanted to monitor everything for each site on a separate browswer - email, analytics, dashboards etc.

So yeah, I could hack firefox. But I dont know how. But the chrome incognito mode serves the same purpose.

This may work? http://broker20.com/

This looks like it will allow me to be logged into 10 different email accounts at once. Are the browsers secure?

Use incognito mode in Chrome
