Been comparing with Profiles in Edge and I must say that Microsoft has done a much better job here. Color themes changes the look of the whole window which makes it MUCH more visual what profile you're using. You can also set which profile url's should open in. This is huge. Big win for Microsoft so far...

I wished you would have gone step further and showed how you can save different website tabs and reopen all of them at once when I re-open the same profile. thanks

@jennifernelson9375 5 месяцев назад

Hello Gary, is there a way to keep the same bookmarks across my iPhone and Mac devices?

@fabriciostatzner8199 6 месяцев назад

Without shorcuts to swap profiles, it becomes annoying very quickly, which is sad because it is a very good feature.

@RolfBoard 7 месяцев назад

One thing that was missing, in my opinion for this new feature on Safari, was the support for advanced shortcuts, and specifically to be able to switch between profiles, without having to iterate through the mouse always... 😥

Hi Gary I have an extra question on Mac. My Mac stopped locking when the screen is turning off , I did set require password immediately when screen turns off but it will just go dark and when pressing the space key it will just open to my desktop.

@macmost 7 месяцев назад

Just check and recheck those settings. Try toggling them off and on.

@schadlarry 7 месяцев назад

Would a use case be to have a different profile where you are not logged into your social media accounts to keep them from supposedly spying on you? I don't know if it's true or not but I've heard FB still monitors activity even after you close the tab but not logged out.

@macmost 7 месяцев назад

Yes, that is absolutely a good use for this. In fact, I use it for just that.

@KennyLew 7 месяцев назад

I have been using safari as my primary browser. Now that I am working a second job I separated my work by using chrome as the second browser for the second job. Should I start using safari profiles for the second job.

@snappycattimesten 7 месяцев назад

To make this really useful, Apple needs to create the option for separate private bookmarks for each profile. Currently bookmarks are shared across profiles.

@macmost 7 месяцев назад

How does that make it more useful?

@snappycattimesten 7 месяцев назад

@@macmost if i want a social media profile, I would like all my social media bookmarks to be quick access. No other unrelated bookmarks. If i want a work profile, I want quick access and visibility of my work only websites, not my social media ones.

@@snappycattimesten OK, so in each profile set the Favorites to be the bookmarks folder you want. Then you get quick access to the right set of bookmarks just like you said.

@yorer247 День назад

so If I reinstall my mac, would all those data/history of different safari profiles be also reinstalled again ?

Should be stored in your Apple account, yes. But why would you "reinstall my Mac?" There isn't much reason to do that today.

@NWCyclist 2 месяца назад

Nice theory, but in practice, there are a lot of flaws using safari profiles, like how it manages tabs, or kills tabs unexpectedly.

I could be interesting to see if in one window you do a shopping thing ... and when shopping push ads come one the same topic ... open a different window without shopping for the types of items to see if such types of ads populate ... if it does, then you know each system window set up are not isolated.

@Oldnose63 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video but a a Safari noob I really don’t understand why I would need all those profiles. You mention that you get more privacy but how and why is that? Also it looks confusing to have so many safari windows open where you can have them in tabs in only 1 window. So what is the point, what am I missing 🤷🏼?

@macmost 7 месяцев назад

At the end of the video I say: "There are a lot of different uses for this but not everybody needs to use Profiles. I think most Mac users can just use Safari as before..." and then talk about some reasons. You get privacy because the cookies are separate. So when a social media site sets a cookie then you go to another site with a relationship with that social media site, you wouldn't be tracked.

@Oldnose63 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Gary I didn’t know that cookies are related to profiles. I just thought they were installed on your computer / browser. It’s definitely something I should try and use.

@ThatDwayne 4 месяца назад

Safari Profiles are VERY rudimentary - I hope they fix this. What do I mean? Here are some examples: First, the Default profile always has all the bookmarks visible (for every profile) and all the extensions are present & enabled - no way to segregate "work" plugins and bookmarks to keep them out of the Personal profile. Second, there is no easy way to 'move' a tab to another profile. Third, maintaining / managing the list of sites that automatically open in a specific Profile is very clunky - there is no way to easily add sites to that list.
