I can just talk about the feedback, the emails I receive from priv8 and switchy users. Here the answer I can give.

User/admin for instance. For maybe multiple users. 2. Multiple gmail accounts: work and private. Usually this doesn't happen with facebook, but yes, with Gmail, it happens a lot (I do this too). Currently, the work around is: multiple browser: chrome and firefox opened at the same time. Chrome has the multi profile support built-in. Firefox does not (... just a few do '-P' from the command line). For this reason switchy and priv8 make people happy :) > > Do our users share their computers with many people?

No browser today > has any sort of protection against prying, overly inquisitive in-laws, so > how do they work around this problem today? > >From the emails I receive, I don't see this as a real problem. Just 1 user told me that he was using multifox and now he uses priv8 when he shares the browser with other members of the family. I guess private browsing is probably a better choice for this use-case. > * How do users think about separating identities in separate profiles vs. > windows vs. tabs? What's their mental models? > Ignoring the technical aspects, the main difference between my 2 addons is that switchy is window (profile) based, priv8 is tab (appId) based. And, yeah, it seems that priv8 has a lot more users (more then the double) of switchy. > * What are the most common sites that's been containerised, and how long > do they typically keep it open? > gmail and google services (calendar, docs, etc), websites in construction. > * How many user profiles have each person typically create > * How do they subdivide their containers/profile?

In case we want, maybe I can add a small form in priv8/switchy asking a few questions to the user. I don't know if I'll receive answers... but maybe yes. > > I'm in NZ and you're in the UK, so scheduling meeting will be a bit > tricky. You can let me know if there's a good time to talk this week, but > answering by email might be easier! > Well... 8pm my time is 8am your time. Too early for a meeting? :) Let me know what you think about this answers.
