How do you use multiple browsers? Dealing with history in all at once?


I started using a few browsers at the same time. Moving to Brave/Firefox from Chrome that still has all my passwords + a browser for work + Safari for reading. Is there any way to deal with history that you know of? (now I need to search everywhere sometimes) Are there any other problems with having multiple browser usage? Do you know many people that use more than one browser? (I know only two)

Firefox with containers for multiple work accounts/social/browsing means I only use one browser now. Before containers I’d only open Safari/chromium for any form of social media. Bitwarden for cross-device password management can help too.

Firefox is my daily driver. I have last pass installed on it. This helps me share my passwords with other browsers. I don't share any other state between browsers.

I use Chromium when I need to use a browser without adblockers.

I use 5+ daily during web development. Most people I know use a combination of Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge, pick at least 2.

I use separate browsers for work/play too, due to overlapping SSO domains.
