Also hard to explain to (inquisitive) people without giving them a several hours long intro into “IP” law and licensing.
Great to hear about the website with examples, that could help heaps. I already learned about Nitter and r.nf – some more such examples (perhaps with alternatives) would be great too.

Slightly off topic: I find Nitter pretty cool, but my limited use of Twitter still requires me to log in and engage (post, follow notifications, reply). What is a good solution for that? I already run it in its own Firefox container, of course.

I used it between 2013 and 2019 and tried both the stable and unstable channels.
For starters some packages were missing, and it took forever to add them (some are still missing). And given that some KDE devs are actually using NixOS, I suspect it’s not about being lazy, but actually it being difficult.
A major issue I had from time to time was that Akonadi just didn’t work, which means the whole PIM suite of KDE just didn’t work from time to time. There were some other issues, but that one was the most painful.

But, a big fat caveat is that, unless things changed dramatically in the past few years, its support for DEs is still pretty weak. I had to switch to a different distro because way too often Plasma was plagued with NixOS-specific issues that it took forever (or sometimes never) to fix.

Compare that to base 10, which is very badly divisible (2, 5) and really hard to do with geometry.
But yeah, the whole thing's a bit messy in the end.

I tried other approaches before, and this one seems the most reliable.

In short: I am a heavy user of Activities in Plasma to separate different work environments or tasks. And in each (KDE Plasma) Activity my wrapper makes sure Firefox runs a separate (Firefox) Profile. That makes sure I always have only the tabs I need for that task/work environment.
(for a longer version, read the blog post)P.S. I am using Tree-Style Tabs, but will take a look at Sidebery if it fits me better. I also tried OneTab before, but ultimately stopped because it was proprietary and it the workflow just did not suit me really well. I also use Pocket where I send pages I want to read later to (Wallabag is just as good, both have their +/-).
