      I'd love to switch from Brave but I desperately need true native profiles to dissociate personal from professional bookmarks and login credentials.
      Spaces are just not enough
      If Google and Brave can do it on Chromium, why not Opera ?
      Is there a way to achieve this on macOS via an extension, for instance ?

      Thank you

          @leocg Where do you see profiles ? I only see Spaces.
          I get the same bookmarks in all Spaces,
          I'm logged in the same accounts in all Spaces
          I can only sign in one Opera account

            @Gee-B If you go to settings page, you should see a GX Profiles section.

                @Gee-B Maybe it's for Windows only.

                  If you can figure out how to launch the Opera app with the --user-data-dir=pathtofolderyouwant command-line switch, you can create a script or shortcut for each profile you want. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera for examples for Windows to get the idea. Then, see https://forums.opera.com/post/369720 and the comments that follow for some ideas how to do that on macOS.
