Why have several Google Chrome accounts?

This Google multi-user tip can be used to manage your Gmail and other Google accounts. Each session will have its own history and saved logins, meaning you won’t have to log out to switch from one e-mail address to another. ✍️

Each Google Chrome search engine session will have its own information. For example, if on your « A » account you always connect to LinkedIn and on your « B » account you use Twitter, then the information won’t be shared, and one session can save its own favorites. 🥰

In fact, these different profiles allow you to separate your Chrome information, including your favorites (« bookmarks »), browsing history, passwords and other advanced Chrome settings. 🔎 So it’s best to do this if you’re in the following situations:

  • If you share a computer with several users.
  • If you wish to separate your different browsers (e.g. according to business and personal accounts).
  • If you manage several LinkedIn accounts, as part of a Team subscription.
