Simple request: Desktop shortcuts for individual profiles

[lavt91]

When using Brave/Chrome on Windows, a desktop icon was created for each new profile. This is extremely useful to me, because I use one profile for work and one for personal use.

I can’t seem to figure out how to make individual shortcuts on Mac! I can right click the Brave icon on the dock and select the profile I want to launch, but what I really want is a straight one-click shortcut to each profile. How can I do this?

macOS Mojave 10.14.5
Brave Version 0.66.99 Chromium: 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

cc @Mattches on this since I’m not using macOS. But on Windows, there’s an option to create a desktop shortcut when you creating new profile.

This would be very useful - can we please get this existing Windows behaviour implemented for Mac?

@eljuno I am windows user too. I am not sure whether this feature is there for macOS or not.

@LaurenWags Could you assist the user.

Thanks

Looks like we have https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/3914 requesting this - I’ll +1 it and reference this thread.

Thanks,
