What is a Chrome profile? It is a Google Chrome feature that lets users create multiple accounts for different browsing experiences. With this feature, you can create multiple profiles on your Chrome browser to keep your work and personal browsing separate. Or, in situations where you have multiple people in a household sharing a computer, creating Chrome profiles for everyone is a good way to keep everyone’s browsing experience separate. When you create a Chrome Profile, you get to personalize your extensions, history, themes, and bookmarks.
