Do you use workspaces, containers, profiles, or none of them?

Over the course of a week, I will:

• Access my personal Google account.
• Access my work Google account.
• Access my kid's Google account to see their schoolwork.
• Use my single GitHub account for both personal and work use.
• Work in apps that don't support multiple sign-ins like Google, but need separate accounts.

Previously, in Safari, I ended up not using it's built-in profiles feature at all. It was tricky when clicking links from other apps like Slack or my email, on top of the bugs with it's extension system when you enabled multiple profiles.

In Zen, options I see are:

• Use workspaces simply to organize tabs, and only use containers where the underlying website doesn't support multiple accounts.
• Use workspaces plus a linked container. However, this means that you have to manually send tabs to the right container / workspace when the last used workspace doesn't match where the tab needs to open. It also means that you need to manually sign in multiple times to apps that have a single login.
• Use the newly updated browser profiles feature, but then external links may open in the completely wrong browser instance, requiring copy / paste.
• Use something outside of the browser, like https://sindresorhus.com/velja, perhaps combined with a manual option.

Currently the Zen docs don't seem to have any guidance for these common scenarios. I'd love to hear from others what's working for them!

My vote was for using container tabs, which I do. However, I also find that using separate browsers is one of the easiest and best ways to separate tasks.

As I use workspaces but with a update after a long time I cannot open a list of workspaces just by clicking on the name and it is annoying to aim for the (...) all the time for opening just a list of WS. I would like it back as it was, or atleast option for that :)

I have switched over to Zen Browser only for personal stuff so far and thus are only using Workspaces, simply for tab organization/separation.
However, there seem to be no way to open tabs directly in a workspace, e.g. by right-clicking a link. There is however the option to do this for container tabs, which I then could link to workspaces, but as you mentioned already then I would have to sign in to the same websites for all workspaces (which are essentially different container tabs).

I would love an easy way to open tabs directly in a workspace instead of my current workflow which is:

1. Right-click link and open in new tab.
2. Right-click the newly opened tab and select "Change Tab(s) To Workspace".
