Microsoft Edge Dev and Canary now let you switch profiles in PWAs

Microsoft is testing a new feature for Microsoft Edge that allows you to easily swap betwixt profiles on progressive spider web apps (PWAs). The feature is currently available in Edge Dev and Canary, according to OnMSFT, though Microsoft'due south Tech Community post on the topic only mentions that yous have to be running Windows x version 2004 or later. We did non spot the characteristic on the stable version of Border in our testing.

Microsoft Edge already allows you to sign into the browser with multiple accounts. Yous can then jump between your accounts, such as work and personal profiles, within the browser. This new characteristic brings that same functionality over to PWAs. This could be useful for media apps, such as installing Disney+ on Windows 10, where having the pick to switch between piece of work and personal accounts could be important.

The experimental feature only appears if you've installed the same website or PWA on more than one Border profile. If that'due south the case, you then will encounter a profile switcher within the title bar. With the characteristic enabled, you will just see a single application tile for the "installed" PWA, rather than one for each contour.
