Apple has added a new Profiles feature to Safari in macOS Sonoma, which is meant to be a quick way to separate work and home browsing, and to help with concentration and privacy. Here's how to use it.The new Safari Profiles feature includes an element of private browsing, but it's really more a development of the ideas behind Tab Groups and Focus Modes.
