GhostBrowser - Developers Dream - Multi Session

Etheco · 4 Oct 2016 at 14:10

I have been using this for a bit now and absolutely love it, Allows to have multi-sessions within the same browser so logging into multiple gmail accounts is easy.

It still uses chrome under its hood so all extensions work as they should but with the additional of multi-sessions.

Worth signing up for if you are a Web Developer.

Edit: They will be charging for the browser after beta, Did not realise prior.

You can do that within Google already. Just click add account and select the account you want to see.

Maybe, But like opening google doc files and it auto defaults to the wrong account is highly annoying and this solves that.

Or you could just use multiple users on Chrome?

Doesn't that just open technically "another" chrome window, Unlike this where its grouped tabs under one window.

I understand there is ways around the example situation I gave but Ghost just makes it more seamless for myself and makes things much quicker then relying on separate browser windows and or changing accounts when it decides its incorrect.

It does, but it works 100% out of the box (and has for years) - it doesn't require me to sign up for anything, and I don't have to worry whether it will be updated in months to come.

I prefer the separate windows, as you can apply different extensions and themes, and so can easily identify which user you are working with at a given time.

Totally understandable, Ghost just works better for my workflow. Everyone's workflow is different and people find certain ways more comfortable

For me extensions would never change, and I am happy with the coloured groups to distinguish different sessions.
