The original
Wavebox
Workspace browser for juggling many web apps and multiple accounts of the same service.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Wavebox.
Shift
Workspace browser for juggling several email and SaaS accounts.
Shift does the same job of running several accounts of one service in separate spaces on Windows, macOS and Linux, with most spaces behind a paid plan.
Arc
Chromium browser organised around spaces, a sidebar and split views.
Arc separates browsing into spaces for free on Windows and macOS, but has no Linux build, requires an account, and receives limited feature work.
SigmaOS
macOS browser that organises tabs into workspaces and treats them as tasks.
SigmaOS keeps separate logins in named workspaces with task-style tabs, but it runs only on macOS and has a limited free tier.
Firefox
The main browser not built on Chromium, with tracking protection turned on by default.
Firefox is free and open source, and its containers can keep several logins of one service apart, though it is a general browser rather than a web app workspace.
Zen Browser
A Firefox build with vertical tabs, workspaces and split view, aimed at people who found Arc appealing.
Zen Browser is free and open source, pairing workspaces with Firefox containers for separate logins, but it is a young project whose interface changes between releases.
Vivaldi
A Chromium browser for people who want tab stacks, split screen and a mail client in the same window.
Vivaldi is a free Chromium browser with tab stacks, split screen and built-in mail and calendar, without a paid tier, though it lacks dedicated multi-account workspaces for one service.
Floorp
A Firefox build from Japan with vertical tabs, workspaces, split view and web panels already wired in.
Floorp is a free, open-source Firefox build with workspaces, split view and web panels built in, with containers available for keeping separate logins apart.
