How can I customize Microsoft Edge browser plugins to use separate email accounts for work and personal purposes?

I've begun using the Microsoft Edge browser [Version 124.0.2478.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)], and I require assistance in segregating my browser profiles using distinct accounts on my Windows 11 PC:

Personal account: personal.account@outlook.com

Browser Extensions: Load all of my plugins

Password: Record all of my login credentials.

Work account: corporate.account@company.com 

Do not load any Browser Extensions and stop recording Passwords.

Even after logging in with my office/work account, my entire browser extensions are re-downloaded, which I want to avoid.

How can this segregation be achieved?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi @EnterpriseArchitect,

    Based on your description of how to use separate email accounts for work and personal purposes, you can add different profiles and turn on synchronization to achieve this function. You can refer to this link for specific information.

    Additionally, in my testing, when I installed an extension in "Edge Add-ons" and switched profiles, the extension was not reinstalled. So, you can try it firstly.

    I suggest you should also check if the relevant policies are used to install extensions.
