Google Chrome multi-user: How does it work?

Want to know how Google Chrome multi-user works, so you can use multiple LinkedIn accounts at the same time? 🧐 In this article, we’ll show you the shortcuts to do just that!

How do you go about it?

• Open a new Google Chrome tab.
• In the top right-hand corner, click on your profile photo.

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.

What other users see when you share multiple Chrome sessions

Only share your device with people you trust. 😇 If a third party uses your device, they can access any Chrome profiles stored on that device. For example, users who visit your Chrome profile can see the websites you’ve visited. 👀
