Profile Switcher too Hidden

Project Member Reported by jeffschiller@google.com, Sep 27

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. The Chrome Profile switcher used to be part of the chrome next to the tab strip.
2. The new UI (Chrome 69+) has cleaned up this area by removing the profile switcher / image and putting it into a People menu.
3. This makes switching profiles far less discoverable.

What is the expected behavior?
Right-clicking the + (new tab) button should open the People menu as a popup...

What went wrong?
I couldn't figure out how to switch profiles for a couple minutes... when I eventually did now it's less obvious which chrome profile is for which window.

Did this work before? Yes 68

Chrome version: Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.13
Flash Version: 

Please consider keeping the chrome profile switcher as part of the UI with profile image instead of squirreled away into a menu.

For now, I'm going to use a different browser for different profiles.  Maybe this is the Chrome team's recommendation?
 
Ok, I see the profile switcher now, it's moved down into the bar beneath the tabs.  The reason I didn't see it was because my profile image was no longer selected, it happened to be the default icon.  Maybe that was a bug?
(also, it's much harder to distinguish the profile switcher button from Chrome extension buttons now)
