Different Profiles
Google Chrome allows you to create one or more profiles in the browser. This alternative is perfect for anyone who shares a computer with others or lets children use it, as there are privacy settings where it is possible to monitor the activity of profiles on the internet, while their data is protected.
Creating different profiles is also very useful when you want to separate personal (or student) subjects from professional subjects. This way, everything stays in place, making it possible to “migrate” whenever necessary.
Creating different profiles
1. Open Google Chrome and click on the three dots located in the upper right corner, next to the saved extensions, if any. Then, click on “Settings“.
2. A new tab will open with options for you to log in to your Google account or create a new profile. First click on “Turn on Sync”.
3. Next, enter your Google email and password.
4. Ready! Google Chrome will set up your profile with history, favorites, extensions and everything.
Adding a new profile
1. On the settings screen, choose the option “Add” and click on the arrow next to it.
2. Next, enter the name of the person you want to add, choose an icon to represent them and set preferences. If you are creating the profile for a child, the ideal is to select the supervision option. After everything is done, click on “Save”.
3. Ready! It will open a new window where the person who will use it can login or browse freely.
Navigating in “Guest” mode
1. On the home screen, At the top right, click Profile  and click on the arrow next to it.
2. In the new window, click on the “Browse as a Guest” option.
3. Ready! A window will open and you or someone else can browse without leaving a trail. The Guest browsing mode works the same as the anonymous mode.
