When a new version of Google Chrome browser comes out, most people don't even notice it because the update is silent and without warnings. Honestly, at least one notification would be useful to notify users of any new features so as to allow them to use them. In Google Chrome there is a function that allows you to create multiple profiles for using the web browser . These profiles can be linked to different Google accounts, therefore, those who have multiple accounts and those who share the use of the computer and Chrome, can browse with their own settings, with their favorites and with the extensions installed .
This means that if two people use the same PC, they can browse with Chrome using two different profiles with two different Google accounts and all the settings synchronized.
To create new profiles in Chrome you can press on the icon of the little man at the top right where you can add a new user by giving him a name, choosing an icon symbol and use the option to add a shortcut on the desktop that opens Chrome directly in that profile.
When adding a new user, a new browser window opens from which you can customize Chrome, choose the apps to be displayed for quick access, choose the background of the first tab and then, optionally, log in with your account Google and synchronize all settings, installed applications and favorites saved on that Google or Gmail account. To switch from one profile to another, just click on the icon at the top right and switch accounts. Each profile can also be changed by changing its name and icon.
A profile may also not be tied to a Google Account and remain local only on that computer.
From the Google Chrome blog you can read that this function is not a security setting anyway and that, although you can change your profile, nothing prevents you from browsing the browsing history of the other accounts. So, if you use a PC not really, you must never log in to Chrome because the account password remains stored.
