Managing multiple Google accounts in Chrome

Ever had the need of managing multiple google accounts on the same computer? It's not fun. Do you have a 'private gmail' and 'work gmail' and you're tired of switching accounts all the time? share the computer with your family? if you search in google how to manage multiple account, google will suggest you some very inconvenient methods to do it that doesn't work well on SSO (single sign on) sites and require from you to select manually which account to use in every usage.

The best solution that I found so far is probably the simplest one, just install another chrome version that doesn't collide with your regular chrome. So go a head and download Chrome Canary at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs/ . This is a beta version of chrome, but still it works great (maybe even better?). 

BONUS: you'll get a shiny gold chrome icon!

  1. Actually, Chrome has pretty solid support for multiple profiles, provided you're willing to sign into different Google accounts for each of them.
