I run the browser under different OS user accounts, and make my display manager display the user account in the window title bar.

I trust it more than browser's internal isolation solutions, like tab containers, which I like to use for other things, like testing web apps using different login sessions at once.

I'd hate a remote solution. ;) Though this is not for privacy but more for protection and better low effort isolation.



Huh, I guess that, combined with a reasonable umask, would be a neat idea.

Does drag and drop work between windows owned by different users?
