Safari, the default web browser on MacBook, offers a range of versatile features to ease the user experience and improve functionality. One of them is called Profiles and allows individuals to create and manage separate browsing environments. It is particularly useful if you want to keep your work and personal web activities separate or if you share your MacBook with others.
By creating distinct profiles, you can have different sets of bookmarks, preferences, and browsing histories that are tailored to your specific needs. This article focuses on how to use Profiles in the Safari browser on your MacBook to maximize your productivity and efficiency.
Enabling Safari browser on your MacBook for maximum productivity
Here is a list of all the things you can toggle with regard to the Profiles feature in your Safari browser:
1) Get started with Profiles
Safari is one of the best browsers available right now. To get started with Profiles in it, launch the browser app and click on the Safari menu in the top-left corner of your screen. From the drop-down tab, select Preferences. In the preferences window, navigate to the General tab. Here, you will find an option labeled "Default web browser." Click on the drop-down menu next to it and select Profiles.
2) Adding a profile
Once you have enabled Profiles, you can start adding new profiles. Click on the "+" button located below the Profiles list. A new account will be created with a default name. Double-click on the moniker to rename it according to your preference. You can create profiles for different purposes, such as work, personal, or any other specific categories that suit your needs.
3) Customizing profile settings
Each profile can be customized to have its own set of preferences and settings. Select a profile from the list, and you will see a variety of options that can be configured. You can choose a distinct homepage or search engine and even set up separate extensions as well as plugins based on the profile's purpose.
4) Managing profile extensions
Extensions in Safari Browser enhance your browsing experience, and you can manage them separately for each profile. To configure them for a specific account, select the desired profile and navigate to the Extensions tab in the Preferences window. Here, you can enable or disable extensions, ensuring that each profile has its own set of installed add-ons.

5) Switching between Profiles
To switch between profiles in this browser, click on the profile icon located in the Safari toolbar. A drop-down menu will appear, displaying all the created profiles. Simply select the one you want to switch to, and this browser will open a new window with that profile active. You can also use the MacBook keyboard shortcut "Command+Shift+, (comma)" to access the profile menu directly.
6) Syncing Profiles with iCloud
If you use multiple MacBooks or iOS devices, you can take advantage of iCloud syncing to keep your profiles consistent across all your devices. To enable iCloud syncing with Profiles, go to the Preferences window, select the General tab, and check the box labeled Sync Safari Settings. This also includes bookmarks, history, and preferences synced seamlessly.
7) Deleting profiles
If you no longer need a specific profile, you can easily delete it. To do this, click on the Profile icon in the Safari Browser toolbar and select Manage Profiles from the drop-down menu. A new window will appear, showing all your profiles. Right-click on the one you want to remove and choose Delete.
Safari will ask for confirmation, and once it's granted permission, the profile and all associated data will be permanently deleted.
Using apps on MacBooks has become more functional with the new announcements. Profiles in the Safari browser offer a convenient and productive way to organize your workflow and manage separate browsing environments, helping you keep your work and personal activities separate.
