GX Profiles for MaxOS

I know the windows Opera GX browser offers the option to switch user profiles, but this feature isn't available on MacOS.

It would be very beneficial so that I can keep my work and personal browsing separate and have separate history for each profile.

Not on macOS to test, but as an alternative for now, you should be able to do something like this in a terminal:

open "/Applications/Opera GX.app" --args "--user-data-dir=/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.OperaGX/Work Profile"

to create/load a second profile used for just work using the Chromium method of specifying another profile.

You should then be able to create a desktop shortcut (and maybe even a dock shortcut) that runs that command.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera for some Windows examples that you can adapt.
