Workspace workspace workspace, workspace is good but people don’t understand it, you won’t have another identity if you don’t specify how you want it to be built, if it is using the same proxy you ain’t having no second identity, if it is having the same fingerprint you ain’t having no 2nd ID, if it is using the same add-ons you ain’t having no extra ID bruh lol. So why is so difficult to give “like” to important comments pointing core features to make it noticed. And what kind of containers do you guys want? privacy focused or Firefox hide my sneakers show my naked legs like?. More complex you ask more time it takes to be ready

@FlyN1njA the only use of the word “identity” prior to your post is this:
I don’t think anyone is expecting to be able to use a workspace in lieu of a VPN or TOR, it’s just a convenient way to maintain separate spaces for working in. The separate profiles mentioned in that comment were for the purpose of segregating cookies, not extensions.

the comment which I replied was about having different identities like work/banking or work/shopping, the comment you mention is about basic usage of having multiple logins not really talking about the identity that the typical user generally refers to and in those cases which are more often users need the ability to use different proxies for each container, yeah I think Tor has it but if we are making workspace for Brave it can’t be partially featured from what other browsers offer

In prior comments there is 1 mention of identity and no mentions of proxy. I don’t think anyone is expecting or wanting workspaces to be anything other than spaces for work. If you want to propose a suite of privacy options be added to the workspace functionality, go ahead, but the condemnation in your comment was unnecessary and misplaced.

Maybe because most people don’t know the differences and are used to the word workspace because it is the common word used for working environment, also I don’t think everybody has the same workflow like as a dev and Brave is a Browser privacy but friendly focused. And I do really think a full suite is part of Brave already if not they wouldn’t add Tor support. About the condemnation if you haven’t humor sense stop tagging me cuz this post is not for this

I add another thing about what I like with the Multi-Account containers in Firefox : you can force a website to open in a specific container. It is useful, for example, if you want to open automaticly social networks in a same container named “Social Networks” or Amazon in the “Shopping” container.

The earlier post Worskpaces/Containers feature feedback - #4 by mrCaliburn has the correct answer. This feature was implemented exceptionally well in the Arc Browser, making it its best-selling point despite other shortcomings.
Here is a very poor image I slapped together showing how the Arc Browser manages Workspaces/Spaces. If Brave could replicate that concept, it would be great!
Of course, you can’t simply copy someone else’s work. However, it would be possible to create a UX design that aligns more with Brave’s style while still functioning in a similar way.

They would be critical for me to fully start using brave.
- they are implemented like workspaces each with separate pinned tabs, tab groups, or folders and as such are much more useful in the dai to day browsing activity.
- having multiple logins is a mess when using a single profile.
- the profile switcher as of now is more like a full browser switcher, requires to set up all preferences for scratch and opens in a separate window. What people really could befeit from is an in-window profile swicher where a profile/space/workspace shares the app settings but not the logins, history, bookmarks, and extensions.
- for example I want my personal youtube to open in a personal space with my personal google account. I have a youtube for learning and don’t want them to share history so I use a learning workspace with that specific google login. same goes for gmail, outlook, and generally keeping browsing more separate.
- its annoying to switch in the website itself like switching account in gmail, much better to have them separate already by the browser.
- all, only ones that should be allowed to be shared is extensions and themes (and browser settings of course).
- yeah, facebook would only open in a containerized space to minimize tracking, outlook always open in the work space and so on.
thanks to the team :)))
ill just drop right on the questions
1 mainly the fact that you have to open a specific window to enter the menu with workspaces, the fact that you more often than not have to save tabs to the workspace instead of it automatically saving on exit, and switching workspaces covering all browser windows, not just one
2 a lack of fluidity as more often than not other sorting solutions are rigid and require several steps to switch in and out (also not being able to quickly move tabs between workspace adjascent options)
3 profiles are too seperate as the only thing that needs to be different in this usecase is tabs
4 keeping different activities seperate for example having your main workspace where you just randomly search things, one where you relegate mods for a specific program, one for a longterm project and one for shows
all of these being seperated by just a click rather several steps and menus
5 a lack of carryover in settings and vital information as switching between online accounts is a different type of functionality
6 tabs and only tabs
7 very much so
8 no
Hi guys.
Sorry for asking but now that 4 months have passed since you opened this thread, and I am excited with the possibility of having workspaces in brave, may I ask If there are any news regarding this? Just asking this for curiosity and because I am really interested in this.
Thanks.

- What do you like or dislike about the Workspaces/Multi-account containers/Profiles features you’ve used in other browsers? its easy to use, its PnP, and sync between devices
- What are the biggest frustrations you experience when trying to keep your different online activities separate and organized in your browser?
- Why doesn’t the profile functionality work for you? You can have multiple profiles, each working as a clean slate for the browser in the practical sense. the flexibility to have al arrange in one profile, for example, I use the browset for work/ personal proyects / leisure
- For what specific situations would you find it helpful to have separate “spaces” or “containers” within your browser? (e.g., work projects, personal projects, different clients, social media management, etc.)
- What problems do you encounter when switching between different online accounts (e.g., multiple email accounts, social media profiles, work accounts)?
- What kind of information do you want to keep separate between these “spaces” (e.g., Browse history, cookies, logins, extensions, themes)? different things that I use in my work
- When separating different logins/sessions, is having them visible and accessible within the same browsing window important to you? daily
- Are there any specific websites or web applications that you would always want to open in a particular “space” automatically? mostly diferent documents/apps from microsoft 365 and other websites
Me too, would love to hear updates on this
What I like:
- It helps keep everything organised and gives a feeling of a new single instance
- It syncs across devices
What I don’t like:
- It doesn’t sync on Mobile
They often mix up.
I don’t want a ‘clean slate’. I want the same things and credentials, just different tabs and different logged in accounts (Having a ‘logged in’ notice near the accounts logged in in password manager would be great to keep track of which accounts are logged in). A profile should contain workspaces. Workspaces should contain Containers.
All
No Problems.
Browser history: Create separate menus for each workspace in unified history (Basically similar to that of the different menus in settings like appearance, content, shields, privacy and security, etc.)
Logins: Different accounts should be logged in in different workspaces, but credentials like passwords should be the same through out the profile.
Yup.
Yup.

Hi, yes we’re still activeley working on this.
For now, to narrow the scope, we’re working on the containers aspect of it.
We’re making good progress but I don’t have an ETA yet. We hope to start testing it out on Nightly in the short term

@aguscruiz That’s great to hear! Could you by the way give an approx. time you believe by which it will reach the Nightly version?
Everyone seems to be very excited about this feature!
Can’t wait to see this running
1. What do you like or dislike about the Workspaces/Multi-account containers/Profiles features you’ve used in other browsers?
I’m able to quickly switch between accounts within the same browser, and having a different login on a different container means I can keep e.g. YouTube algorithm separate for different interests without ‘polluting’ my main account’s algorithm
2. What are the biggest frustrations you experience when trying to keep your different online activities separate and organized in your browser?
The website may or may not have their own account switcher feature.
3. Why doesn’t the profile functionality work for you? You can have multiple profiles, each working as a clean slate for the browser in the practical sense.
I do not want to remember which shortcut launches which profile, on top of needing to manually setting up extensions and its settings for each and every container. I already have way too many windows opened so having another, separate window just for a single different login when it’s needed is a huge no.
4. For what specific situations would you find it helpful to have separate “spaces” or “containers” within your browser? (e.g., work projects, personal projects, different clients, social media management, etc.)
I occasionally screenshare my browser window so having my own personal account logged in on another container while keeping it logged out on a ‘main’ container helps reducing the chances of revealing my personal information to the public
5. What problems do you encounter when switching between different online accounts (e.g., multiple email accounts, social media profiles, work accounts)?
Same as Question No. 2.
6. What kind of information do you want to keep separate between these “spaces” (e.g., Browse history, cookies, logins, extensions, themes)?
Cookies are the most important ones, would be nice if there’s an option to separate themes between workspaces. Personally I like to keep extensions shared for a uniform and consistent custom experience across containers
7. When separating different logins/sessions, is having them visible and accessible within the same browsing window important to you?
Very important
8. Are there any specific websites or web applications that you would always want to open in a particular “space” automatically?
None in particular

1. What do you like or dislike about the Workspaces/Multi-account containers/Profiles features you’ve used in other browsers?
I have an automatic system (FF Temporary Containers add-on) that creates a new container for each tab and base domain, so that no cookies or data is ever leaked or tracked across websites. For a few specific domains (e.g. Google, Github, shopping websites) I have FF containers, that only trigger on the login URL, so that I can choose to either navigate them in a temporary container (without login) or transition to the “saved” container with login information and cookies. It’s a bit of a complicated setup, but works quite well, and allows for no-compromise privacy as well as quick switching to logged-in containers.
2. What are the biggest frustrations you experience when trying to keep your different online activities separate and organized in your browser?
The fact that in FF it’s non-trivial and very cumbersome to set up and especially to switch between private temporary containers (provided by the add-on) and logged-in (default FF) containers. I’d love to have a button, always at the ready, to reload the current URL/tab into a logged-in container (for that domain), as opposed to having to bind the login URLs and hope to get it right.
3. Why doesn’t the profile functionality work for you? You can have multiple profiles, each working as a clean slate for the browser in the practical sense.
I want every single tab and every single domain (that is, if within a tab I click a link that brings me to another domain) to open in a separate container, so that absolutely no information is leaked/tracked across different domains. I also want to have separate “saved” containers for separate domains, in each of which I’m logged in to that specific domain (e.g. Google, Github, etc.)
4. For what specific situations would you find it helpful to have separate “spaces” or “containers” within your browser? (e.g., work projects, personal projects, different clients, social media management, etc.)
Privacy, separate logins for different accounts.
5. What problems do you encounter when switching between different online accounts (e.g., multiple email accounts, social media profiles, work accounts)?
Tracking across said accounts, having to log-out and log-in every time.
6. What kind of information do you want to keep separate between these “spaces” (e.g., Browse history, cookies, logins, extensions, themes)?
Cookies, logins. If there were a column/colored tag/indicator of what container a history entry was browsed in, that would be nice.
7. When separating different logins/sessions, is having them visible and accessible within the same browsing window important to you?
Yes.
8. Are there any specific websites or web applications that you would always want to open in a particular “space” automatically?
Well, yes and no: I would like all websites to be in a (separate, temporary) container, so that there is never a contaminated space for cookie tracking to spread, but also have the option, at any point, to manually switch a tab/URL to a “saved” container with login information for that specific domain.
