How to get multiple user Profiles in old chrome:
For Windows:
- Create a new folder somewhere to store New user profile's data. For example, you can create a folder in C: named "chromework" so path to this folder will be c:\chromework.
- Now copy the shortcut of your chrome somewhere. you can do it by right-clicking the Google Chrome desktop icon > Copy > then Paste it any where. and then Give the copy a separate name (you can name it on the person who gonna use it.).
- Right-click the new shortcut and select Properties > In the Target field, take your cursor in and of target path, then leave a space, then add --user-data-dir=[your new directory name] in the end.
- Now your Profile is ready. You can make as much profiles as you want through this procedure, and can keep secure your passwords, history, bookmarks etc. from other users.
For Mac:
- Open AppleScript Script Editor (either in Applications/Utilities or Applications/AppleScript)
- Enter this: do shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --user-data-dir=/Users/$USER/Library/Application\\ Support/Google/ChromePersonal > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
- If you did not install Google Chrome in the default location, modify the script as appropriate.
- Save the script in your Applications directory with the file format Application.
- Close the Script Editor and find your newly created application and run it. Running this application will open another Google Chrome instance pointing to your new profile.
