    The life-changing magic of organizing your browsing life – with Arc profiles

    My Arc browser Work profile is associated with a Space named Work. Jack Wallen/ZDNETArc browser has been my default on MacOS for nearly a year now and I’ve never once regretted the change. Arc includes the best tab management on the market, the most modern UI of any browser, and plenty of other features that help it stand out from the browser pack. I want to focus on one feature in particular — it’s a feature offered by some browsers (such as Firefox) that is often overlooked by users. The feature in question: profiles. What are profiles? Let’s say you use Arc for both personal web surfing and work. You might use the same services — say, Google Workspace — for both home and work but have different Google accounts for each. Instead of logging into your personal Google account for one task, logging out, logging in with your Google work account, and then taking care of another task, you could create separate profiles for Personal and Work. In the Personal profile, log in with your personal Google account; in the Work profile, log in with your work account. Those two profiles will not communicate with one another or exchange data.  Also: Arc browser creator believes it’s time to move on from Chrome – and I agreeWith profiles you can isolate history, logins, cookies, and extensions, essentially giving you multiple instances of the same browser for different purposes. Arc does approach profiles a bit differently than other browsers. Instead of creating multiple profiles and then selecting between them when needed, you associate a profile with a Space. Because of this, you’ll want to make sure to first create a space that will work with the new profile. For example, you could create a Space named Work and then associate it with the new Work profile. This means you work with different profiles from the same window, making it a very efficient experience. More
