I have Brave with one Nostr account, Firefox with another, Safari with another and now I am installing Chrome for a fourth one.
I am running out of browsers... WTF.

Nostur is the only client I'm aware of that supports multiple accounts. I'm curious why this feature is so rare?
Many native clients support multiple accounts by now... It's only the extensions that have an issue with it.
Can’t you do multiple profiles within one browser, like Firefox?
You can have 'users' in chrome for different npubs, too maybe?
I use VMs
Alby Extension supports having multiple accounts. Is there a reason that doesn't work for you?
Wait, how?
I can only add the same "wallet" multiple times.
Where do I add nsecs?
Each profile has it's own keys. You can find them in your Extension Account settings > Key Management (either import your 12 words recovery phrase or an existing nsec via Nostr Settings)
Mmmm, it automatically adds my same wallet **again**.
Redirecting 👉 Success! No step in between for me to select/set up a new one.
Seems like you clicked "Connect a Wallet".
You need to instead go to the account settings of an existing account. Hover the account you want to edit your keys for and click on the settings icon (see screenshot from before).
Does that work for you?
Unfortunately not, because I can only have 1 nsec per Wallet (right?).
And when I try to add another wallet it automatically adds the same wallet again.
Yes, only one nsec per wallet. Do you want to use a different wallet for the other nostr identities?
Otherwise it's also fine to add the same wallet multiple times, and just use different nsecs with each account.
Ooooh yeah of course. Didn't try that yet.
It seems quite some people don't know about the multi-account features. Do you have any ideas on how to improve this in the extension?
I'll think about it :Check:
It's different from what I'm currently designing, where the Wallet is a subset of the Profile.
With you guys the Profile is a subset of each Wallet.
If you want to use a different Alby account you would need to login to the account you want to connect on getalby.com first, and then connect the extension. (we have some improvements coming with the next release that should make things easier for multi-account setups)
haven’t seen that option. how do u add an account without changing out your priv key?
Time to add Lynx
Glad to know that I am not alone in this lol
I was playing around in Vivaldi broswer with the Alby extension and was able to get a couple working in unison. Vivaldi is a pretty unknown browser but I've been using it for tiled sports stream viewing.
If you consider Chrome-based browsers independently, then you've only just scratched the surface :)
librewolf, mullvad, ungoogled chromium, still room for more accounts. and then you can expand to VMs. and then more devices.
Why so many browsers?
Why to not use the browser profile feature?
Why do not use an extension with multiprofile support?
Don't forget Kiwi Browser, DuckDuckGo and Opera. I use those as well.
