Tiles does not allow separate instances of a web browser for each page/desktop

from Stardock Forums

I was just testing out a trial of the Tiles software to see if it functions as needed. For remote learning, students have several classes and it would be nice to be able to have each page with the apps, programs, and web browser opened for each class. If a web browser such as Chrome is open in several pages/desktops, the website is always the same on each page/desktop. If on a math class page and Chrome is open to a page on Euclid, it will change the current website on the other pages so it is the same. The Tiles program does not allow webpages to be different for each page/desktop. 

The built in Windows 10 desktops allows for each desktop to have the browser set to different desktops but does not save them if the computer is restarted. I was hoping to have a program similar to the Windows 10 desktops but allow the desktops to be saved.

If you could get it working as such you could market it as a tool for remote learning students which is a huge market now with Covid 19.

I found this method to work as a way to have multiple separate instances of chrome running. This allows me to have different chrome pages in my different tiles.

I use my tiles as more of a quick links but still like to switch between multiple desktops for different environments (work apps and docs, personal projects, etc.)

I hope this helps!

So I realized that this might not be the workflow you were describing. I was going to delete my reply but I cannot find out how you do that in this forum!
