When you use Oasis browser (available in both Free Agentic Browser and Enterprise Browser versions), all your data such as bookmarks, passwords and settings are stored in a "profile." Creating multiple profiles allows you to keep separate browsing data, themes or settings for different purposes, such as work and personal use. This guide walks you through the steps to create, customize and manage Oasis browser profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this feature available on mobile devices?
No, the profiles feature is currently not supported on mobile devices. Profile management is available on desktop versions of Oasis browser.
Does creating a new profile log me into an account or affect my sync settings?
No, creating or managing profiles does not sign you in to a Kahana account or change any sync settings. Sync remains separate, and profiles allow you to set up different browsing environments without linking them automatically to an account.
Will switching profiles mix my data if I'm signed in to a Kahana account?
No, switching profiles won't merge or mix your data. Each profile keeps separate browsing data, bookmarks and settings. Oasis prevents syncing multiple profiles with the same Kahana account on the same device to avoid data merging across profiles. However, each profile can connect to separate Kahana accounts.
Which profile will open when I open Oasis?
If you have selected Choose a profile when Oasis opens from the Manage Profiles screen, you will be able to choose from a list of all your profiles when Oasis opens. If this option is not selected, Oasis will open the most recently used profile.
How do data collection and privacy settings work with profiles?
Your data collection and privacy settings will apply to every Oasis profile on your device. That means you only have to change these settings in one profile, and the changes will be applied to your other profiles. When you create a new profile, your current privacy settings will automatically apply.
Should I back up my profiles?
The best way to protect your profile data is by creating a Kahana account for each profile. Sync automatically protects your data across devices, ensuring easy access whenever you need it.
What's the difference between profiles and Multi-Account Containers?
Profiles allow for complete separation of all data between each profile — including bookmarks, passwords, settings, add-ons, browsing history, and browsing data (like cookies and logins). In contrast, Multi-Account Containers only separate browsing data like cookies and logins between different containers. The Multi-Account Containers add-on can be used in a single profile, but this add-on and its containers won't be shared across profiles.
