This trick with the profile picture won’t work for those accounts.Ĭhange the profile picture to whatever photo you want to use. If My Office profile is missing and you only see My account it probably means your account doesn’t have an active Office 365 license assigned. Once signed in, open the account page by clicking the account button in the top right and choosing My Office profile. Navigate to and sign in with the account. Next we must be sure the account we want to associate with the profile has a profile picture. Note that I’m signed in to my PC with my Office 365 account, which is automatically picked up by Edge. A new Edge window will open for the newly created profile. Click the profile icon in the top right of Edge and choose Add a profile. To set this up, first we add a new profile to Edge. With the new Edge, however, you can sign in with an Office 365 account and use that image! Setting it up The new Edge also comes with a limited set of icons to choose from, but like Chrome, you can use the account image as an icon. In my case I have multiple Microsoft organization (Office 365) and personal accounts. In addition Chrome can use your Google account image as the icon, but that means you must have a Google account for each of the profiles you use. There are a bit more icons available than in Chrome, but you’re still limited to the icons that come with Chrome. I have to give it to Chrome that they offer a nice set of icons. You can recognize the active profile of each window in the task bar by the icon you selected. ChomeĬhome uses a different approach where each profile is a separate window. If you have many you simply run out of colors and the icons can’t really describe the profile properly. The color is shown in the tab, but you would need to remember which color is which profile.
All profiles live as separate tabs in the same Firefox window. Firefoxįirefox allows you to pick a color and an icon from a very limited set of options. The thing bothering me with all implementations of profiles is the limited options to identify the profiles. I’ve come to like the Chromium implementation of profiles better because each profile is sandboxed, in contrary to Firefox. Chome has them for quite some time (since Chrome is obviously also based on Chromium), but also Firefox offers this feature. This is particularly great if you have many accounts, like in my case, where I have accounts for each of the customers I work for. Each profile is completely isolated and has their own extensions, favorites and passwords. Profiles are great, because they allow you to have separate profiles for different purposes, e.g. One of the benefits of the Chromium based Edge is that it brings profiles to Edge. Ever since Microsoft announced the next version of Edge will be based on Chromium and provided the Edge Insider program I’ve been happily running the Dev channel of Edge.
