Biggest drawback to me after trying Firefox are the lack of simple profiles, as in Chrome, which let me separate work from personal from school when browsing, and the fact that all web development is done for Chrome. So many sites don't work correctly in Firefox that I eventually had to give up on it and move back.
Container tabs can do that from a isolation perspective, though bookmarks will be shared. I have "banking", "google services", "facebook", and the default for other stuff.
I've been quietly doing it for about 8 years and have met many others like that, but you aren't completely wrong. About 3 years ago I tried to become more of a part of the "digital nomad community" and found it to be full of hucksters.
Others' stereotype of us: Who is there to have a stereotype about? Nobody lives there. Not "nobody" like "nobody lives in the Midwest", really nobody, like "total population: 0". Just a collection of ghost towns.
Our stereotype of ourselves: Rather close to the Midwesterners, minus the emphasis on agriculture. (Yes, we grow what we can where we can, but lack of water means that there isn't much. Agriculture doesn't dominate the way it does in the Midwest.) We say that we are self-reliant, independent, friendly (except maybe to outsiders), down to earth. We're fairly well educated, but we still have good common sense.
