Because different accounts are not possible on every OS, right?

Browser profiles serve very different needs from OS level accounts.

Yes, they do. I use 4 different browser profiles for various things. But everyone who uses my computer while I cannot control what they do, gets their own user account or can use a guest account.

My brother in Christ, you are literally giving an example of how browser profiles and OS accounts solve different problems.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I still don't get what you're trying to say.

Do not let people use your OS account if you don't want them to have access to all of your data, including all of your browser profiles.

Browser profiles are not a security feature.
