I just use different browsers for different things. Firefox for most things; it's the fastest. Chrome for anything Google related. Edge for PDFs and my Hotmail account.

I used to use Chrome for Google stuff, but recently I found the Multi-Account Containers Firefox extension. Works really well for splitting up a work profile, accounts tied to your real identity, and casual web browsing.

The problem for me is Google Meet falls apart on Firefox when presenting your screen to a group of over 4 people.

Google Docs and Sheets falls apart pretty quickly too.

Then designate Chrome for such tasks and FireFox with containers for anything else. It works great - can confirm.

This is why I made an app to auto switch browsers. There were others but none worked inside browsers wothout extra clicks.

Otherwise it can be a pain to switch often.

why don't you use sumatrapdf?

Edge is really nice for PDFs though and integrates well with printer and web, so what else do I really want?

please give sumatrapdf a try. this is a powerhouse app that is barely talked about. it is like 2-3 Mb in total and does everything pdf.

using edge for pdf is like hair clipping with a chainsaw. just my 2 cents
