This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why would you have 2 daily drivers?
Tracking mostly. If i need to visit a site that i want to know the absolute minimum about me or my accounts, i use Firefox. Vivaldi is secured well, but I'm logged in to various accounts for convenience there. I have a 3 monitor set up so it's easy to just have it open on a separate screen.
Just switch user agents
How do you mean?
A user agent is a string it sends the website you're connecting to so it can know what rendering engine you have and which browser you use and so on. But, the dark side of user agents is that websites can use this to track you. So, if you don't want them to do so you can change it either manually or by using a browser extension. I recommend you to make your user agent look like chrome's, as this is the most popular browser and you will not be tracked as easily.
I don't know.. Sounds like I'd have to trust another extension to do the user agent stuff in the background... I'm sure that's a solid solution for a lot of use cases, but i might just keep my method for now.
If the extension is FOSS then you can trust it.
