Google Chrome offers users the ability to create and save multiple Google accounts. A user can easily switch between profiles while browsing. It's quite simple to add a Chrome profile to Google at any time, and it's just as easy to edit or remove it.
When you have more than one Google Chrome user profile, you can browse the web with different settings, depending on which profile you choose. For example, you can have a personal and a work profile to separate certain extensions, bookmarks, settings, browser history, themes and saved passwords.
