Vratislav Holub On Apple's operating systems, we find the native Safari browser, which is characterized by its simplicity, speed and emphasis on privacy. Although it is the most popular among apple users, in spite of this, some overlook it and prefer to choose software from competitors. The truth is that some functions are simply missing in Safari. Of course, the opposite is also true. The Apple browser is perfectly connected to iCloud and boasts, for example, the Private Relay function, connection to the Keychain on iCloud and a number of other gadgets.

Pavel Jelic In short, we can find differences at almost every step. Nevertheless, Safari still lacks one relatively handy function that can be very helpful in separating personal life from work life. On the contrary, something similar has been commonplace for Chrome or Edge for years. So what feature would we like to see in Safari?
Partitioning using profiles
As we mentioned above, in Chrome, Edge and similar browsers we can find a rather interesting gadget in the form of user profiles. They can serve us to divide, for example, our personal, work or school life and thus even easily support our productivity. This can be seen perfectly, for example, on bookmarks. When we use Safari as our main browser, in the vast majority of cases we literally have everything stored in our bookmarks - from entertainment websites to news to work or school. Of course, the solution is to sort your favorite websites into folders and have them immediately distinguished, but this may not work for everyone.
Profile settings in Chrome
But using user profiles is a bit more handy. In such a case, the browser behaves completely differently and in practice it looks like we have as many profiles as we have practically as many browsers. Literally all data is thus separated from each other, not only the mentioned bookmarks, but also browsing history, various settings and more. This is the only way to fully separate personal and work life, which, unfortunately, Safari, with its ability to sort into folders, simply does not offer.
Do we need profiles for Safari?
Most Safari users can probably do without this feature. For some groups, however, this can be a decisive factor, due to which, for example, they cannot get used to the Apple browser and are thus forced to return to competing software. After all, this is confirmed by apple lovers on discussion forums. As already mentioned above, it is undoubtedly a rather handy gadget with a decent potential, and it would not be a bad thing if it came to Safari as well. Would you like such a feature or don't care about it?

If you didn't write it, I don't even know that I don't miss it.
For me, I don't use profiles even in Chrome, which I have because of the synchronization of several devices, including Win, and the translation of pages, which I often use as the primary one because of Chinese customers. But it is true that years later I switched from separation and switched from two SIMs (work and private) to one. It doesn't matter how a person's work and private life are intertwined with family, friends, etc. :-)
