Improved Browser Bookmarks - Implement Frontend Account Selection by URL
Currently, to bookmark a specific account in a Proton service, you need to sign in, add the page, and never sign out.
It's moderately cumbersome due to the link matching the local user identifier (localID), not a Proton Account name.
For example, my Proton Mail link currently looks like this: https://mail.proton.me/u/45/inbox.
That link is invalid on my other machines, where it may be a value like /u/1 instead. It also means that when I sign out, and another account takes its ID, the old bookmark needs to be updated.
Adding a way to select which account to navigate to, such as with a full username or email, would assist users in getting to their services even quicker!
Something like https://mail.proton.me/u/onkoe/inbox would work, but if there are collisions from the new Proton.me scheme, a full email may be required.
I hope to see this coming soon! :)

This one also breaks the bookmark favicons which is quite frustrating. Hope it gets fixed soon.
