Request: Switch between multiple Google accounts

Firefox has the Gmail Manager Plugin or CookieSwap or Google Account Multi-Login GreaseMonkey Script (which I tried in Opera, but didn't seem to do anything).

Chrome has the Google Account Switcher extension

What can I use on Opera to enable me to easily switch between several Google accounts with out manually loging out and back in each time?

Private tabs?

Could be a solution, but I can't bookmark a site as a Private Tab so it becomes more cumbersome to open the page than it should be!

Thanks for the input.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

Hmm... doesn't seem to be such a great solution after all as I am limited to one login in a private tab and one in a standard tab. down

If I login to a third account (either in a private or standard tab) it simple overwrites the login of the existing (private or standard) tab.

The various addons of Firefox and Chrome allow for the smooth handling of an unlimited number of accounts - this is what I am seeking to replicate.

Two separate private tabs aren't truly separate? That sounds like a bug to me, unless you opened the other private tab from the first private tab.

Nope, makes no difference. Apparently all private tabs exist within the same sandbox and share cookies etc. When you close the last private tab the sandbox is emptied.
Haven't tested this with multiple windows though.

I'll admit I didn't look into the private tabs feature much, but that's not how I imagined it.

Just tested whether separate windows had separate sandboxes, but no - sadly there seems to be one sandbox shared across all private tabs and windows.
