Edge Chromium in the Canary version already allows the use of profiles: these are the necessary steps to activate them

The arrival of the global version of the new Edge does not prevent us from continuing to see updates for the development versions. The Canary and Dev channels receive continuous updates, the first daily, and in many of them we find improvements that will later make the leap to the global version.

This is the case of Edge on the Canary Channel that is now updated to the version that has the number 81.0.413.0 associated with it. An update with different improvements among which highlights the possibility of creating profiles to surf the netA profile that you can create and select by following these steps that we now detail.

Creating a profile is interesting because…

The possibility of having profiles is useful especially if we want to use Edge for personal and professional purposes or if there are several users of a PC in a house. Now with profiles, switching between profiles is very easy and this change will allow users to set up a profile.

Creating a profile allows the user to share the web browser with others without them interfering with the information and navigation that it provides has done, since each profile created keeps all the information separately. In this way, elements such as history, favorites or passwords do not overlap.

"

To create or select a profile, the first thing we have to do is go to the Settings menu located in the upper right area (the three-point menu or hamburger menu).Once inside we go to the first link that we will see in the left column under the title Profiles We will see how a new window opens with a default profile marked and on it the symbol + next to the the legend Add profile"

"

Click on it and another window opens in which the add profile appears, offering the possibility of synchronizing the data in case of using a Microsoft account if we click on the button Sing In To Sync Data If you do not press it, we will create a profile that will not synchronize browsing data with other devices under the same Microsoft account when we browse. "

"Just follow the steps shown on the screen to create as many profiles as you want. In the end, those profiles are easily editable from the main Profiles screen."

"

But this is not the only change that comes with version 81.0.413.0, as Microsoft has added a new section called Phone and other deviceswhich is used to report the availability of Edge on different platforms and facilitate installation by means of a QR code."

Also remember that you can continue using Edge within the development channels and the final version of Edge, whose download we already explained in this article.
