Disappointing to see such a 180 on 'don't be evil'.

I'm recommending Mozilla Firefox to all friends and family.

Unfortunately Firefox doesn't have a good UI/UX after all.

The last time I checked, multiple profiles support is somehow half-baked.

Multiple profiles is fully supported. It's just hidden behind a clunky UX.

Also check out firefox containers which is to profiles what docker is to virtual machines.

Yeah, AFAIK to setup profiles you have to run:

    firefox --ProfileManager
And then to use them you have to start firefox e.g. :

    firefox -P <profile-name>
Very few casual users (nor even most technical users) start Firefox from a command line, and setting up shortcuts for these is also a step that most users won't do.

The support for profiles is there, it's just hard to use in the context of a GUI desktop.
