Can I run two independent instances of Safari?

Is it possible to run two independent instances of Safari so that login credentials from one instance do not carry over to the other instance?


We have a federated sign-on at work so that if you log into one web page you don't have to log in to other web pages (usually) from other tabs or windows. Is there any way to break apart separate windows so I could log in a User A in one browser window and User B in another browser window?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hrrrmm, found the answer. From Terminal, enter:


open -n -a "Safari"


It also works with other applications you want to run in a separate instance.


Thank you, me!
