Will this essential feature make into any future releases?

Hello @sgunhouse / @leocg

I wish to raise a feature request on implementing multi user profile options in opera. I use linuxmint 19.3 LTS as my daily driver and for work. I have been using opera for general browsing purposes while heavily relying on Chrome for work related things. I really like to use opera as my main go to browser for everything (general or work related) as its pretty fast and less resource hungry overall.
At present the only thing that is a show stopper for me is the missing multi-user profile options which IMO is the most nifty feature for productivity and is being offered by all well-known browsers in 2020. There are many others like me who would really like to adopt opera for general and work related things (having one browser for all) who are turning away because of this missing option.

I hence request you to kindly consider this thread as an RFE and assist to move in the "feature request" section.

@l33t4opera thanks for the advice. I will do so.

Hi @l33t4opera ,
I am actually using linuxmint 19.3 LTS as my daily driver and for work. I think there are few ways to do the same trick for having different work profiles in linux too. But, IMO, all these methods are more or less a way to get around the actual problem, . I really like to use opera as my daily driver one day as it s pretty fast and I found it is less resource hunger compared to Chrome. Given the fact that Opera always has been getting some niche flagship features ahead of others in the past , its not clear why they do not want to have this profile switcher option which is now so common across all browsers in 2020.

Will there be any plans to have multi user profile which are currently being offered by Chrome/firefox/vivaldi etc. I believe it is one of the crucial feature to have and will greatly improve the user adoption and productivity to people who are looking for a better alternative than chrome.
