Are user profiles the same kind of dumb shit that is in Chrome? As in, it's completely forced upon you even on a single-user machine with every way to disable it removed years ago.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? There have to be at least 2 nines in the percentage of end-user systems used by only a single person. The only explanation I can think of is that they're angling for a Chrome-like cross-device experience that conveniently stores all of your browsing data on their servers.
