How to Keep Dribbble Accounts Apart on One PC with Separate Browser Profiles

How do separate browser profiles keep Dribbble accounts apart? #

Give each person's Dribbble account its own browser profile. Dribbble's Cookie Policy (last updated 7 January 2025, read 3 October 2026) lists, among its strictly necessary cookies, the ones that let you log in. Chromium's documentation says a profile's folder holds data such as history, bookmarks and cookies, so a profile is where those login cookies live and one profile per person means one Dribbble sign-in per profile.

What a profile separates, and what it does not #

Set up one profile per person, step by step #

1. In Chrome, select Profile at the top right and then Add Chrome profile.
2. Give it a name and colour that identify the person and role (see the naming table below). Signing in to Chrome with a Google Account is optional; Chrome Help says it lets you save bookmarks, passwords and settings in your account.
3. In that profile, open dribbble.com and sign in with that person's own account only.
4. Repeat for every colleague, one profile each. To switch, select Profile and choose the one you want. To rename it, use More and then Edit.
5. If the person wants alerts, switch on Enable Desktop Browser Notifications under Account Settings > Notifications in that profile and click Allow when the browser asks.

Firefox users can use Containers instead. Mozilla's documentation says a container isolates cookies, localStorage, indexedDB and caches, while history, bookmarks and saved passwords are not isolated. Microsoft Edge has a profiles feature of its own; use Microsoft's help page for the steps in your version.

Habits that matter on a shared computer #

• Sign out at the end of a session. Dribbble's Terms say to make sure you log off or exit from your account at the end of each session.
• Check the avatar before you act. Dribbble's Help Center says to log in to the correct account before accepting an invitation from an email, and to log into the account you used to create a job listing before editing it.
• Reach a Team through its Owner. Use Dribbble as the Team from that Owner's own profile, as the guide to acting as a Team explains.
• Keep extensions few. The Rate Limits article says an extension can make many more requests than you expect.

Naming, hand-over and backups #

Naming. Put the part you would search for first.

A profile called DRB Mai Acme Owner is hard to open by mistake. Give each profile a different colour too.

Hand-over. Never pass a signed-in profile to someone as a way of sharing an account: the Terms rule out passing on login details or account access, or letting another person take over your account. When someone joins or leaves a Team, have an Owner change the Team under Account Settings > Team Members instead. If a colleague has used their own account on your computer, delete the profile you made for them.

Backups. Dribbble's own export is Account Settings > Data Export, then Request Data, which emails a link to an archive of profile and shot information. A copy of a browser profile folder is a different thing: Chromium's documentation puts the Windows default under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data, and the folder can hold cookies, so keep any copy as private as a password. Chrome Help says removing a profile erases its data from the computer.

When you outgrow ordinary profiles #

A handful of profiles is easy to manage by hand. You are outgrowing them when the windows look alike, many people open and close profiles every day, a clean hand-over matters, or you look after the computers of several studios. A profile manager then saves time; see installing ADSSPEED on Windows for a first run.

What if it fails? #

Where ADSSPEED fits #

ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles. Every profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so accounts you manage can stay signed in side by side without signing each other out. Profiles can be opened, stopped and organised in bulk, and profile data stays on your own computer. It does not change what Dribbble allows: one personal account per user and no shared logins. Use it only with accounts you own or are authorised to manage, and follow Dribbble's rules. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Dribbble.
