it not possible to have 2 separate instances anymore.
It's not possible with chromium either. I have two separate X servers

Tim, likely you are confusing ability of the same browser instance to have
windows on multiple DISPLAYs and running multiple instances on the same
display.
I don't think so. I want to run multiple instances on different
displays. But any attempt to do anything on the second display seems to
have chrome first looking for the existing instance and then displaying
everything on that display.
I assume it's doing some sort of rpc - and it's probably because two
chrome instances sharing a single profile would corrupt the profile.
However, I wonder if unshare could hide the first instance well enough
to get the second to start on the other display. Something to try at the
weekend.
