Web Browser Profile Switching

Overview

It can be useful to keep your browsing data separate in your web browser. For people who commonly use both work and personal accounts, this is particularly important. Most modern web browsers offer a “Profile” feature. Profiles allow you to easily switch between work and personal browsing and log-ins. For example, switching between your UTK Gmail account and your personal Gmail account, or your UTK Microsoft Account and a personal Microsoft Account. In most cases, if you would like to roam your data across devices, you can sign into each profile with a Microsoft, Google, or Firefox account. Since browsing data is separated between profiles, each profile will sync independently of the other.
