1. Create a New Profile in Brave

  1. Click the profile icon at the top-right corner of Brave.

  4. A new Brave window will open with that profile.

That’s it — you now have a completely isolated browsing environment.

2. Why Use Multiple Profiles?

Each Brave profile keeps data separate, including:

  • Settings
  • Passwords
  • Bookmarks
  • Cookies & history

This is perfect for:

  • Separating work and personal browsing
  • Using a dedicated profile for banking or sensitive activities
  • Running test environments without mixing data

3. Quick Tips & Caveats

  • Profiles are fully isolated — bookmarks and extensions don’t sync across them.
  • Some system-level settings may still overlap.
  • Brave doesn’t use Google accounts for profiles, so everything is local.

✅ Summary

  • Brave profiles = separate browsing identities.
  • Great for privacy, organization, and testing.
  • Easy to set up, but remember: no syncing between profiles.
