I have a main account and a school account both with completely different settings and bookmarks when importing from chrome i realised Opera GX doesnt have support for multiple profiles? is there any program or something i can do to use another profile?

@truesymmetryaa Opera doesn't support multiple profiles.

You can create shortcuts to different profiles, but that's all.

@leocg Would you be able to tell me how?

@truesymmetryaa Use --user-data-dir=x:\pathto\profile and change the name of the profile directory for each different profile you want to create.

@leocg said in Two profiles on Opera GX:

-user-data-dir=x

"--user-data-dir=C:\Program Files\launcher.exe" should i change the path for this? what do i change it to?

@truesymmetryaa Don't point to any executable file, just point to where you want Opera to put the user data.

Something like --user-data-dir=C:\operaprofile1\ for example.

So the shortcut should have something like this in its target field: "C:\Program Files\Opera developer\launcher.exe" --user-data-dir=c:\operaprofile1\

Change the paths to match your launcher.exe location and desired profile directory
