How to separate work and play on the same PC

@derDay said in How to separate work and play on the same PC:
@quhno: there's still a bug with the re-enabling auto-updater in combination with multiple profiles VB-37140
I know, I have confirmed it, but what can I do ...
... and there is a bug with profiles in general:
If you use e.g. the Guest Profile the Auto Updater gets activated for that version ... -
This is brilliant feature but I'm wondering if there's any keyboard shortcut to switch between profile? I've digging the help pages but no luck.
-
@ugly: The last open profile will be default. You can override this with using --profile-directory=<name>.
-
@neltherion: That would offer little security since anyone could still access they data inside the profile directory of your OS login. The secure way would be to use separate OS logins and switch between them. Applications will still continue running on each account (on Windows).
-
@sandalian: Not currently inside Vivaldi, no, but using the --profile-directory argument, you can do it on the OS level.

Hey there!
I have been really hoping this feature would be implemented. I use Vivaldi on my private and my work PC because it works just perfect.But could you please add the user profiles to the things that get synced over my Vivaldi account? I dont' want to have my private stuff mixed up with my work stuff. At first i thought that user profiles would do that for me but only if it's on the same PC.
Also i can't change the name of my first profile. It's called Profile1 and there is no way to change that.
Thanks for your work!

Hi, you have to set up a new Vivaldi account to separate privat from work data.
Change profile name in chrome://settings/manageProfile
Copy/paste in to the address field.Cheers, mib

I would like to see an option to choose the profile when i start vivaldi like so (https://i.imgur.com/Kbbjy8Q.png) now i need to exit the profile first before i can choose the other profile.

Is there a way to rename an existing profile? Couldn't find any

@amzin
chrome://settings/manageProfile

After having vivaldi reinstalled I thought about this feature. I came to the conclusion I would not use it for me:
I want all my data accessible at the same spots all the time, everything else would make me slower.
BUT: I will use it for "guests", that use my system (like wife, daughter, ...)

@pettern: I recently switched back to a Mac and started using Vivaldi. Is it possible to do this on a Mac? I created work and home accounts, but it defaults to my web browser for home in work and is rather distracting.
-
Does anybody uses profiles to separate work&home bookmarks but with one sync account? Or that isn't possible? Or maybe I want to use the feature wrong?
-
@enc0re Yes, I use four Vivaldi profiles, each with its own synchronization. That works great. It's like having four Vivaldi Each profile has its own settings, bookmarks, and extensions.
-
@stardepp It's like having 4 seasons of Vivaldi you mean
-
@npro Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.
-
@stardepp: And everything synced within one account?
edit: I made two profiles, both logged with same account. If I delete bookmark in one profile, it gets deleted on other also. That's not I want.
-
@enc0re No, you need to create a separate synchronization account for each profile. So you need a different email address, password and encryption password for each profile.
-
@stardepp I was asking that at the beginning :). Then this feature is not suitable for me. I don't want to have another sync account.
