My work emails all run through the google suite of applications and I have two of them plus drive etc so having chrome allows me to have multiple profiles for each work account and they are remote managed by the company.

Use Firefox with Container Tabs. It uses separate session for each container

This does not keep my bookmarks and passwords synced across all the work devices I have to use does it?

I regularly log into 2 work email accounts and have a third that I check monthly. I do this across 5 work devices which are shared, my personal MacBook Air which is used primarily for work and my phone.

If Firefox has sync features that work with cloud storage as opposed to device storage it would be practical otherwise it’s no go

If you use browser to store passwords that's a huge security risk. You're better off using a password manager to manage and sync your password.

Having synced bookmarks is fair though. I use 2 devices for work but I didn't keep synced bookmarks. I usually have the most used tabs pinned so it keeps standby and I keep the important links for each project pinned inside the project Slack channel.
