Workspaces as separate sessions

@joaquinxcp No no and no more! Thinks! Each profile has a different:
- bookmarks
- extensions
- settings - all, including sidebar.
So if you assume that each workspace would be a different profile, then:
A. in the workspace-profile #1 You would have access to completely different extensions than on workspace-profile #2 (unless you installed the same on both)
B. In fact, by selecting workspace-profile #1 You could see 3 other workspaces and on workspace-profile #2 you could already see 5 others. Why? Because it comes out by definition. The workspaces settings are part of the opera profile settings.And if he did, that the workspace would really be different profiles, it would not be included in the settings of any Opera profile:
- in all workspaces You would have to have a visible sidebar and in all of them You would have to have the same workspaces, what if You would like to have a real-profile access to 5 workspaces and in the second one You would not need visibility of the entire sidebar? Then you wouldn't have that freedom.
Yes, I am in favor of adding profiles to Opera but only(!) In the form of a toggle (button) in the toolbar (to the right of the addresses bar). Then:
- with several profiles, after starting Opera, it would be possible to choose which profile we want to use
- we would have full freedom to set the sidebar/worpskaces on each real profile
- We could run different Opera profiles in separate windows
My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).

Just created this account to support this thread. This would save me so much time.... let's hope this comes up someday!
To have different logins on different workspaces for me would suffice, as I use my extensions on all my stuff (personal, study, etc.). But downloading them for each workspace would be fine too as it is less tiresome than going to private tabs.

Firstly, I thought it would be separate sessions so that I can use my work accounts within the same browser. But I found that workspaces are useless. Please make it like separate sessions please.

Hi,
It would be very useful to elevate the use of workspaces into independent sessions, where you could for example log in into the same service with different accounts.
This would be extremely useful when dealing with several accounts on a single website (personal/job for example).
I know you could use private tabs to login into other accounts but this would be much more practical.
Thanks.

Google Chrome has this feature we all know, and is perfect. But, Vivaldi also has this feature which looks like it is similar to google chrome, but it is very forceful of sort. Example, in Vivaldi if you open a new window with "Profile 1", it also loads "Profile 2" and all its extensions, opened pages and data.
This is an Important feature and hope Opera will implement it as quickly and as perfect as google has done. And, if the team is already working on it, we would be glad to know that.

Account Related Workspace
Container
Use case:
User have 2 different email account,
and since lot's of stuff can build up having user to login and logout such account will be pain. (especially for provider doesn't provide fast account switch like google do)Solution
with now days computing capabilities and how efficient opera handle things, i think having workspace to be specifically bind into user account will be more efficient and convenience for user who have more than 1 account and doesn't want to waste time to login and logout their account.
so there will be 2 types of workspace- regular workspace, login 1 account and the credential also shared with other workspace
- contained workspace. login an account and the credential will not shared with any other workspace. even if the user right click to send the tab outside of that specific workspace the tab will automatically logout or cleared cache and the user will be notified such behavior is not allowed or if he choose so the content and credentials will be cleared when it appears outside that contain workspace.

this is the best feature needed. If Separate sessions is possible then there is no need for profiles.
I would love to see this feature come through -

I just created my account to support this. We need profiles/workspaces with different sessions/cookies/storage.
This is kinda becoming a deal breaker to me. -

@clauber said in Workspaces as separate sessions:
We need profiles
See the bottom section here for the manual way to have multiple profiles.

Allowing session isolation for workspaces would be great! For example there can be simple option when creating workspaces "allow session sharing" or "forbid session sharing" and that's it. For a lot of people this feature will be very useful.

Personally (web developer) I have this setup:
- Main opera installation: personal usage and most of work related stuff (without Google)
- Portable opera for work's google stuff (Google isolation 1)
- Portable opera for personal's google stuff (Google isolation 2)
- Portable opera for custom web testing
Workspace isolation would be great

Sad to see this has been sitting out there for 2+ years w/o getting any love.
I installed Opera Just For this reason to see if I could get something like Firefox Multi-Account Containers on a Chromium browser.
I was very disappointed when I logged into gmail in 1 workspace and was still logged in on the other workspaces.

@sniperfox Opera GX has profiles and there is a flag to enable profiles in regular Opera, although it doesn't do anything currently.
So, there may be a chance that multiple profiles will be allowed at some point in the future. However, each workspace being a different profile I think has very low chances to happen.

Another one just to support this.
Workspace isolation should be the best thing to happen… it will give the organization of Opera with the containers of Firefox.
BTW that is how I always envisioned what Workspace should be… Firefox containers is too unorganized because you can have a tab from work at side from a tab from school.
Workspace fix and organize that.
Now we need that each Workspace can have it own set of cookies, logins, etc.Make this happen… be ahead of others.

@edmarcio No, no and again no. And once again: No! Workspace should stay as it is. There are profiles for different plugins, different cookies, settings, etc. And that's what Opera should get.

For me this feature is the only thing that is missing that makes me not migrate to use only Opera, I tried a lot of times, but without this feature, it's impossible.
When you start using Workspaces it seems that it will do exactly that, different sessions. But not, it's all the same session, so when you have more then one profile, like personal, work, etc. It's messy.Besides it... Great job dev team, this browser is fantastic
