PiBrowse is a free, open-source browser for keeping browser profiles separate. Run it locally or self-host it, with no subscription for the open-source edition. Built on Fury under AGPL-3.0-or-later, it adds simpler profile creation, sorting, pins, saved views and custom columns. The current desktop preview is for Apple Silicon Macs; it is not Apple-notarized and downloads Chromium separately. Source: https://github.com/aronhy/pibrowse

Could you build this?
Partial The profile-management UI (sorting, pins, saved views, custom columns) is straightforward to vibe-code, but it sits on top of a browser engine. Forking an existing Electron-based browser is feasible, while the underlying browser internals are a hard, separate piece.
What it would actually take: Fork the Fury codebase (Electron/Chromium-based) and build the profile manager, sorting, and column UI as a layer on top. The hard part is maintaining a browser fork: keeping up with Chromium security patches, handling profile isolation and storage correctly, and shipping signed desktop builds for each OS. That requires experienced desktop and browser engineering, not just AI-generated UI code.
