If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now
I have one thing keeping me from moving back to Firefox. I use Chrome profiles extensively to separate my various client access sessions that I need to do my job. So I need a solution in Firefox that allows me to have separate profiles with separate sessions. I've tried Firefox profiles but those are so much clunkier to setup and switch between. Also there's no way I've found to get the Firefox profiles to be in separate color-coded windows like Chrome does so I have to look through all my open windows to find the one for the specific client I'm working with.
If someone can solve this I'll switch back to Firefox immediately.

Captain, masking is highly illogical
This is funny but I'm not sure how logical (🫣) it is. Is Spock autistic? He's just..(half)Vulcan? Doing Vulcan things. Any autistic traits he demonstrates would be kind of projection wouldn't it? That said, I understand allegory exists but I doubt this sort of thing would have been intentional by Gene Roddenberry. (I'm very fun at parties 😆)

This (and the other suggestions below) are what I've tried previously.
It's close but Google's got the native solution and the "window-level" containers that have individual per-container icons make it much easier for me to sort my sessions. Unfortunately it looks like Firefox still has them relegated to a single taskbar item. I guess this is necessary since container tabs can be moved between windows unlike Chrome which draws a hard line between windows. I guess this is just the method Firefox went with but it makes my processes a lot more difficult.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give it another go and check out ungoogled Chromium as well.

But more than that, I believed that I could see... five guys.
In the spirit of the episode, shouldn't Picard be shouting that there are "FIVE GUYS!" since that's the "truth" and not what the sign is trying to gaslight him into believing?

Being as this is a Linux community, there's definitely going to be more insight into the pros of Linux from responses here. My professional background is as a systems engineer in Windows from xp, vista, 7, 8, 10, 11 and windows servers 2003-present as well as centOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, and Kali Linux. I've also supported Mac OS X and OS X (currently macOS) server in a more limited capacity and have used laptops of all 3 operating systems.
Windows benefits: I'd say Windows still holds the crown for corporate use. I know this probably isn't what most care about but integration with intune (microsoft mobile device management) and security features such as bitlocker, tpm integrations, FIDO2 passkey support, and directory managed (Entra ID) policies and controls are much stronger under Windows. Windows generally does a good job with backwards compatibility and gaming.
Linux benefits: free as in beer (usually) and FOSS is pretty huge. For the average user its entirely serviceable for web browsing etc. With recent advancements in Proton id say 95+% of gaming requirements are met. More control and much less bloat. You're much more in control of your system but it requires a level of technical proficiency to leverage that control. It's not spying on you. Personally I like Linux permissions system over Windows too for file administration, etc. They tend to have their package management systems be more established too.
Mac benefits: some people enjoy a walled garden. Turn your brain off and go all in on apple products and services. Terrifying to many here but that's a benefit to some. Because everything is so tightly integrated I notice things tend to break less frequently. Great for the technically illiterate and performance is still really good for those who do need video editing, etc. It's surprisingly good for power users too with the BSD underpinning. Better privacy than windows imo.
What I miss? When using Linux and mac i miss the windows familiarity since it was my first OS. But IMO vanilla Debian is a very enjoyable daily driver. I just occasionally break something that takes me an hour to fix. When using windows I get frustrated by how it hamstrings everything and tries to half ass some features (looking at you settings app). Search breaks all the time. More hanging. Performance dips that make no sense. Windows is easily the least stable in my experience. When using macs I feel the end user experience is quite fun. Snappy. More intuitive. But sometimes I want to do something advanced and itll get in its way reminding me that im a power user and it was seemingly not built with that in mind. A bit too glossy, if that makes sense.
Sorry for the messy formatting. Sending from my phone.

Star Trek Resurgence Giveaway
I played so many hours of Klingon Academy. Spent a lot of time just in ship battles. That was back when game manuals were huge. It had entries on all the weapons, their capabilities, everything.
Star Trek Generations was probably my first game but I was a bit too young for the puzzle solving and never was able to beat it back then. And Dominion Wars was another one. I guess I was primarily a ships battle kind of guy. Prepped me for games like Elite Dangerous and No man's sky. Glad they're making new space sims nowadays there was a drought for so long!
