Add custom profile picture settings

It’s been a while now so I’m deeply requesting an option to set a custom profile picture. It’s a bit of a hassle switching between multiple profiles using the default icon in the top right corner—especially when they all look closely the same.

Being able to add a custom image would make it way easier to tell them apart at a glance. Hope you’ll consider it!

Thanks!

This is already a known request we are considering presently:

As someone who recently swapped to Brave Browser, and who chose Brave over Firefox due to the inclusion of profiles, I can say that the profile pictures are my single biggest complaint with the browser so far.

Yes! Please add this feature!

Well you should. Cause there are nitpickers with 4 profiles like me out there, that turn down using the software instead of chrome just for this missing feature

it’s insane to me this still isn’t a feature considering i’m seeing threads from all the way back to 2019 who were asking for it. like how is it 2026 and we still don’t have custom profile pics? :sob:

As I wrote in that thread, your “workaround” 289wk doesn’t even work anymore, and hasn’t for a while. Please stop relying on outdated information! You are not field testing anything you say.
