+== Profiles
+A Profile is a collection of settings, policies, scripts, cookies, cache and
+history. Profiles can be used to isolate pages from each other.
+
+Each window has a default profile it uses when opening new tabs. This can be
+changed from the window's menu. Additionally, tabs can have their profiles
+individually changed from their context menu.
+
+Because profiles store all their data separately, you can log in into the same
+site with a different account from each profile. However, links opened into new
+tabs will still use the subwindow's default profile. For example, you can set a
+profile to hold login information for a site, but all new tabs opened from that
+site would still be using the default off-the-record profile.
+
+Profiles are read from profile.path
+
