How to Create Multiple Profiles on Chromium Version of Microsoft Edge

Starting with the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge includes the ability to create multiple profiles.

A profile is meant to allow you to share the web browser with other users without them interfering with information. Every profile you create keeps all of your information separate, including history, favorites, passwords, and other settings.

In addition, support for profiles is a handy feature when you want to use different Microsoft accounts and you want to keep your things, such as personal and work, separate.

In this guide, you’ll learn the step to create a new profile on the Microsoft Edge browser based on the Chromium project for Windows 10.

01. Open Microsoft Edge.

02. Click the Settings and More (three-dotted) button on the top-right corner.

03. Select the Settings option.

04. Click on Profiles.

05. Click the Add profile button on the top-right.
