I voted for this…again. But since this is the umpteenth time this feature has been requested, I’m not holding my breath.

It is disappointing that this feature has been requested so many times and still does not exist. When you have a large number of profiles, the existing profile icons are inadequate.
1000% with you on this. I can’t help but wonder if there’s a reason this hasn’t happened. I mean, no browser has this feature, as far as I know. Certainly not any other Chromium-based browser.
I’d just like to know what the reason is. @Mattches , any insight you can offer here? Are custom (or even more ) profile icons anywhere on the roadmap? Is there a reason no browser offers them?
@100WattWalrus ,
While I don’t know the exact reason preventing this feature from being implemented, we do have a couple open issue on Github already:
