The Microsoft Edge chromium is a preferred browsing source due to its multiple profiles functionality. This function allows the user to use independent profiles that keep the browsing data, history, bookmarks, and any such information separate in all existing profiles. The Profiles feature comes in handy when the users share their browsers with multiple computer operators in the family or keep the work and personal browsing experience different.

Today, in this article, we will discuss all the available methods for Switching between profiles in the Microsoft Edge Chromium. The methods below serve different settings and are easy and quick to follow. Have a look:
