edge profile drawer
quintendc I completely agree! As a consultant, I like building a profile for each Azure AD identity, so pinning them all to the taskbar becomes unwieldy. If I just have the default, I have to open it first before I can switch to another profile (which starts a new session,) so I have 2 Edge icons in the taskbar.
My suggestion would be to add it to the "right-click" options on the Edge icon in the taskbar (or desktop.) I.e., right-click on the Edge icon and have all of your profiles available. Click on the desired profile to open a new window with that profile! Simple!
Don Kirkham i understand, but if you move all profiles to "right click" context menu it will also be overwhelming or you should put them into the "right click" context menu and in that context menu a sub menu. like so:
Where "Toolbars" should then be Profiles
in my opinion we should have different options so you can choose the option that fit your needs.
a profile drawer like in vivaldi and others:
or if you have just a few profiles: pin them in the desktop or taskbar.
another issue that comes to my mind now is, if you would like to go for the profile drawer window. edge should have some global settings menu that is independent from profiles. now each profile has his own settings. so what will happen if you (person1) opt-in for the profile drawer if you switch to person2 the next time you open edge it will automatically open person 2 which isn't opt-in for profile drawer so you should opt-in also for person2. thats not efficient. making a global settings menu gives us the possibility to have profiles use the same settings for example extensions you have to do it over and over again for each profile. in the global settings you should be able to install extensions that are the same for each user, etc ...
- I completely agree and like the option to put all of the profiles in a submenu!
