<![CDATA[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.

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.
