Profile Groups
Organize browser profiles with folders, tags, and bulk operations. Manage 100+ profiles efficiently with smart grouping and filtering.
Managing 3 profiles is easy. Managing 50 is chaos without organization. Profile groups, folders, and tags keep you sane when scaling.
Why Organization Matters
Users start with 3-5 profiles. Then scale to 20. Then 50. Then 100+.
Without organization, you waste time:
- Scrolling through profile lists to find the right one
- Forgetting which profile is for which account
- Accidentally launching the wrong profile
- Losing track of proxy assignments
- Unable to update settings in bulk
Groups solve this. Organize by client, platform, campaign, or any structure that matches your workflow.
Creating Folders
Folders are hierarchical. Like file system folders.
Example structure for an agency:
📁 Client A 📁 Social Media 🌐 Facebook Account 1 🌐 Facebook Account 2 🌐 Instagram Account 1 📁 E-commerce 🌐 Amazon Seller Account 🌐 eBay Account 📁 Client B 📁 Ads Management 🌐 Google Ads Profile 🌐 Facebook Ads Profile 📁 Analytics 🌐 GA4 ProfileCreate a folder: Dashboard → Right-click sidebar → "New Folder". Name it. Done.
Move profiles: Drag and drop into folders. Or right-click profile → "Move to Folder."
Folders can nest up to 5 levels deep. Don't go deeper. It gets confusing.
Using Tags
Tags are flexible. One profile can have multiple tags. Folders can't do that.
Example tagging scheme:
- Platform tags: facebook, instagram, amazon, ebay
- Status tags: active, paused, warming-up, banned
- Region tags: us-east, eu-west, asia-pacific
- Client tags: client-acme, client-globex
- Purpose tags: testing, production, backup
A profile can be tagged: facebook, active, us-east, client-acme, production.
Add tags: Profile → Settings → Tags → Add Tag. Type tag name. Hit enter. Autocompletes from existing tags.
Filter by tags: Dashboard → Tags dropdown → Select tags. Shows only matching profiles. Combine multiple tags with AND/OR logic.
💡 Tag Best Practices
Use consistent tag naming. All lowercase. Hyphens instead of spaces. "client-acme" not "Client Acme". Makes filtering reliable.
Color Coding
Visual identification. Assign colors to profiles.
Common color schemes:
| Color | Meaning | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | Active, healthy | Production profiles in good standing |
| 🟡 Yellow | Warning, attention needed | Profiles with flagged accounts or expiring proxies |
| 🔴 Red | Banned, suspended | Accounts that got banned or profiles to avoid |
| 🔵 Blue | Testing, development | Non-production profiles for testing |
| 🟣 Purple | VIP, high-value | Client's most important accounts |
Set color: Right-click profile → "Set Color" → Pick from palette.
Color shows in profile list, launch buttons, and tab indicators. Makes profile identification instant.
Smart Views and Filters
Smart views are saved filters. Like smart playlists.
Create a smart view:
- Apply filters (tags, folders, colors, date ranges)
- Click "Save View" at top right
- Name it (e.g., "Active Facebook Profiles")
- View appears in sidebar
Useful smart views:
- "Profiles to check today" - Profiles tagged "daily-check"
- "Expiring proxies" - Proxies expiring in next 7 days
- "High-value accounts" - Profiles tagged "vip" or colored purple
- "Recently used" - Profiles launched in last 24 hours
- "Inactive profiles" - Not launched in 30+ days
Bulk Operations
Update 50 profiles at once. Don't do it manually.
Select multiple profiles: Hold Cmd/Ctrl and click. Or click first, hold Shift, click last to select range.
Bulk actions available:
- Update proxies: Change proxy settings across all selected
- Change fingerprint template: Switch from General to E-commerce
- Apply tags: Tag 20 profiles with "client-newco" at once
- Export data: Backup multiple profiles simultaneously
- Delete profiles: Remove test profiles in bulk
- Update user agent: Bump Chrome version across all profiles
Right-click selected profiles → "Bulk Operations" → Choose action.
Changes apply immediately. No undo. Be careful with bulk delete.
Search and Quick Launch
Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows). Opens quick search.
Type profile name, tag, or folder. Results filter as you type. Hit Enter to launch.
You never need to scroll profile lists. Quick search is faster.
Search supports:
- Profile names (partial matches)
- Tags (prefix with "#": #facebook)
- Folders (prefix with "/": /client-a)
- Colors (type color name: "red", "green")
- Proxy IPs (finds profiles using specific proxy)
Profile Naming Conventions
Good names make organization easier. Bad names create confusion.
Good naming patterns:
- "ClientName - Platform - Account" → "Acme - Facebook - Account 1"
- "Platform - Purpose - ID" → "Instagram - Ads - 001"
- "Region - Platform - Date" → "US-East - Amazon - 2024-01"
Bad naming patterns:
- "Profile 1", "Profile 2" (meaningless)
- "Test", "New", "Final" (vague)
- "asdfasdf" (seriously?)
Consistent naming makes search work. You can type "acme" and find all Acme client profiles.
Exporting and Sharing Groups
Team plans let you share folder structures and smart views.
Export folder structure: Right-click folder → "Export Structure" → Save as JSON. Share with team members.
Import folder structure: Dashboard → Import → Load JSON. Recreates entire folder hierarchy. Doesn't include actual profiles (those stay private unless explicitly shared).
Useful when onboarding team members. They get your organizational structure without your profile data.
