  1. Multi-Account Containers in Firefox by tepples · · Score: 3, Informative

    All of the Twitter clients I have used have pretty good support for multiple Twitter logins. The website has zero such support (unless I've missed something? Would be happy to be proven wrong here).

    If you use Multi-Account Containers, a feature of Mozilla Firefox, any website supports multiple logins. Create a container for accounts related to your brand and another for personal use, and Firefox will track your Twitter cookies separately for tabs belonging to each container. It's not interleaving, but it does let you switch between the two more easily.

    Does Safari support anything similar?
