AdaRam added Wavebox as alternative to MailSignalPros: Design Style
Cons: Heavy damn! There are no groups or groups with folded folders for tabs. It has groups but what if I need farther more? The greater the number of tabbed groups, the more challenging it becomes to manage! Every profile has the same extensions! There is no profile picker on startup! You can't select multiple tabs and drag or drop or something.
P.S. It's more for Apps. The product is raw!
Tried it, but it had two major issues. Very heavy on resources and despite being based on Chromium, it takes extensions and makes you pay $8 month to have more than one. That is not acceptable for something that is free on base Chromium.

Nobody told me that the free version is limited to 7 days and that when this runs out you lose access to all configured apps. The trial has no warning displayed. My expectation was that I would be notified when I exceed the limits of the free account, but that was not the case. Time to find an alternative that is not so eager to get money from you.

Tried it a while ago but it didn't have support for all the extensions I use and was sluggish. I downloaded again and what a difference, added all my extensions right away and it feels faster than Firefox. Added all the apps I use daily and it's been a real game changer, my Hotmail and Gmail accounts are always there with unread emails
I use this to keep all my online accounts together in one place, by far the best and most reliable for doing this
This is exactly the app I was looking for. I tried Shift for months but I wanted an app that let you install any Chrome extension. Wavebox is the only app of this kind which you can do it with.
I've been using Wavebox for 2 years and I'm overall satisfied. A single place for multiple (g)mail accounts, and easy access to other apps.
BUT! The recent price increase from 2$/month to 8$/month is really too steep, and I don't think the new price reflects the real value. I can still read my email in my browser... or quickly build an electron if I want a separate icon. It's not gonna be as advanced as Wavebox, but 100$/year is really too much. Farewell!
