Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create or have multiple Chrome profiles 2. Open chrome only in a secondary profile 3. Open external app/program with web links (e.g Twitter UWP) What is the expected behavior? It will open in a profile that I choose or my primary profile. What went wrong? It opens in the currently open or most recently interacted with profile Did this work before? No Chrome version: 54.0.2840.99 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0 I would love this feature as I use multiple chrome profiles, one personally and one with a G Suite account, and most external links I would like to open with my personal Google account.

+cleer for a UX perspective Chris, I'm inclined to mark this as WAI, since I think the extra friction caused by popping up a dialogue when a user wants to open a link in Chrome (to choose the profile in which to open the link) isn't worth the benefit. I imagine for the majority use case, the last-used profile is probably the right option. What are your thoughts, though? Another possible option would be a way to mark a profile as "default" in settings/user manager somehow, and have it be the default profile for opening links. Keeping as "Available" and moving to P3.

I agree, a dialog would bring too much extra friction, but I would really like an option to select a default user profile.

As someone that uses a personal and Work profile at work, this would be really useful, especially if you could set rules that certain applications or domains are defaulted to certain profiles!

+Sabine as FYI for a future feature request. We could support this by allowing users to specify certain profiles to open links in from specific applications (e.g. open looks from Outlook in my "work" profile)
