### Summary ###
Provide a way to use and easily switch between multiple Chrome profiles, e.g. work and personal.
### Use case / Motivation ###
1. I'm at work signed into my work Google account, but I also want to have Spotify open using my personal Gmail account.
2. I'm signed into my personal Gmail account on the weekend and a friend contacts me to make plans for next month, I want to quickly check my work calendar to make sure I don't have a conflict.
On both macOS and Windows, I am able to have multiple Chrome profiles open, each signed into a separate Google account. This makes it very easy to switch between profiles (for short tasks like checking Calendar) and have services provided in the background across profiles (for things like listening to Music, or receiving WhatsApp notifications).
### Existing workarounds ###
1. For the "check Calendar" use case, I could log out and back in again. This is a lot of friction.
2. For the "listen to Spotify" use case, I could install the Android app and sign into it with my personal account. This is only available to me if my domain administrator allows me to install Android apps, and requires an Android app to be available for my desired service (neither of these requirements are present on macOS/Windows; I can just use the web).
3. For both, I could keep an incognito window open with the other profile, however then I lose a lot of the benefits of Chrome profiles (auto-fill, tab history, etc).
This is the single feature that is blocking me from moving from a Macbook to a Chromebook Pixel.
