Hello,

I would like to install an extension but the extensions requires "Access your data for all websites".

Can I disable the add-on for the primary user profile & activate it ONLY for the secondary user profile?

The idea is that I can use the primary profile for day-to-day personal & business purposes & then use the 2nd profile ONLY when I need the add-on to be active.

Thank You!

1. It's nothing wrong nor suspicious/scary about this requirement. 2. You can use different sets of addons on different profiles, but first you must turn off addons' synchronization in Settings -> Sync.
