Start browser with profile
Having to start the browser in private mode is great but how about starting in a specific profile. This way I can keep my personal profile vs work and school separate. I think this would be a big win...
You can specify the profile to launch with by appending
--profile-directory="Default"
to the launch command. If there's only one profile, its directory is called Default. Subsequent profile directories are called Profile 1, Profile 2 etc.
A typical desktop shortcut, therefore, would have as its target
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1"
