How to Make Different Profiles on Safari Browser (macOS Sonoma)

Do you want to have multiple Safari profiles in macOS Sonoma? Over the past years, Apple has launched many features to the Safari browser. With the latest update, you can easily make different profiles on Safari on Mac/MacBook running macOS Sonoma.

With the release of macOS Sonoma, you can now establish separate profiles for different users in Safari. For instance, you might make Work and Personal profiles to guarantee that none of the cookies, passwords, or other data kept in the Work profile is ever tampered with the Personal profile. Actually, every profile has its own unique history, cookies, website data, extensions, Tab Groups, and favorites.

Why Creating Profiles Matters?

Making profiles in Safari is a smart move that can bring you lots of advantages in both your personal and professional life.

• It allows users to create their own custom profiles in Safari, tailoring their browsing experience to suit their preferences. You can block or clear cookies, stop annoying pop-ups, and enable or disable JavaScript, all to make your online experience more personalized.

• For businesses, this feature is a valuable tool. It helps them manage access to specific websites and ensures that their employees use the preferred settings while browsing.

• When multiple people share a device or use the same Apple ID to surf the web, Safari Profiles lets them maintain their individual privacy and settings, ensuring a more personalized experience.

• In summary, Safari Profiles enhance productivity and keep your browsing environment clean and organized. The best part is that you can easily switch between profiles without worrying about your data.

Selecting the Profile to Use

At the top left corner of Safari, you’ll notice a Profile menu. Here, you can easily switch between the profiles you’ve set up or open a new window specifically for a particular profile. This allows you to have multiple Safari windows open, each linked to a different profile. To avoid any mix-ups, it’s a good idea to assign a unique color to each profile, making it easy to distinguish them. This way, you won’t accidentally do personal browsing in your Work profile or vice versa.
