Safari Profiles are half-baked. Apple built profiles around tab separation, not identity isolation. Google exposes that weakness immediately; when I am logged on to my work account in Google, switch to another profile and back, it is no longer logged on.
It just reuses the profile that it was already logged on! It defeats the whole purpose of profiles!
Cookies are not fully isolated, Intelligent Tracking Prevention fights profiles, Keychain overrides profile intent; it’s frankly a mess.
Furthermore, under iOS 26 and Tahoe, Safari is a regression. For iOS 26 the menu structure is vague. In order to clear your browser history as an example, you have to press the “three dots” icon, press Bookmarks (?!), select the Clock Icon, Press a “three dots” menu again, and finally select “Clear”.
This navigation structure is an obfuscated mess and a perfect example of the overall Liquid Glass issues I see across the board. This, and other options could easily be displayed directly under the first “three dot” menu: history doesn’t belong under bookmarks!
Apple has some important work to do with Safari, but luckily these are all trivial issues to fix technically.
