      Hi,
      recently I discorvered "side-profiles" flag for Opera so I wanted to try it but... it doesn't work or I have no idea how to use it

      I was following instructions from this post: https://forums.opera.com/topic/53153/how-to-set-up-multiple-profiles-in-opera-gx/6. I went to opera://flags/#side-profiles, activated side-profiles flag aaaand what now?
      Maybe I'm just misunderstanding but I think that the button with options should appear near this flag right? It didn't appear so I went to opera://settings/side-profiles-settings and it seams that link doesn't exist. It took me to main opera settings. Searching there for "side profiles" returns no results

      I'm on Windows 11 using Opera 89.0.4447.51

      Any help would be appreciated ๐Ÿ™‚
      Thanks!

        @d7470 I don't think Opera has support for profiles yet.

          Oh no ๐Ÿ˜ž
          That's very important feature and I thought this flag will help me.
          Well... thanks for your response. I guess I should install a few other browsers and try working with them.

            @d7470 If the flag is there, then either it's a work in progress, hence it's being disabled by default, and we will see the feature in the future or it's just a case of a flag that shouldn't be there.

              @d7470 You can have multiple profiles in regular Opera too. You just have to manually create them. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera.

                      @burnout426 does it matter whether I am on opera or opera gx?

                        @zaevab55555 Kind of. For side profiles, yes, you need Opera GX. For creating extra profiles the Chromium way, that will work for both regular Opera and Opera GX.
