How to set up multiple profiles OR workspaces in Opera
-
PONYWFA last edited by leocgI'm new to Opera and I'm working on a Mac. I really like most of the functions, but I don't understand the 'workspaces'. I created a second one hoping that I could use it for my work stuff, I also need a tertiary workspace for my language learning. I really need to be able to keep all these things separate, but it would be really nice to have them accessible by switching workspaces. However, the secondary workspace has all the same 'speed dials' and bookmarks as the main worksapce and I can't seem to figure out how to add a secondary profile that is attached to the secondary workspace.
I saw the forum chain about setting up multiple profiles in Opera GX, but the instructions are for windows and I have the plain Opera, not the GX option. Can anyone help me out with a link to instructions for Mac users?

@PONYWFA See https://help.opera.com/en/latest/features/#workspaces
Workspaces are just a way to group tabs.

https://reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera shows you how to do it on Windows. I don't have a Mac to test, but see if these directions work for you. Basically, you set up a different shortcut and folder for each extra profile you want.
