New in Safari is also the ability to separate the browser via profiles, meaning you can create one profile for work and another for your personal life. It'll split your history, extensions, cookies, Tab Groups, and Favorites. It's easy to switch back and forth. You'll also be able to create web apps, which allow you to turn your favorite websites into an app-like experience that you can place in the dock. Instead of opening a browser window, these web apps will launch and act like a traditional MacOS app when you click on it. You can get notifications from them, and even segment them in tools like Stage Manager. Additionally, Apple is making it easy to share passwords with close friends, family, and colleagues with shared accounts. When you create a group, everyone will be able to add and...
