How to use Google Chrome's secret guest profile feature






                      We've already looked at how you can create and manage multiple user profiles in Chrome,
but Google's web browser is a program with many surprises—one of which
is a beta feature that creates a generic guest profile that visitors can
use to browse the web on your PC.

Guest profiles are a must for anyone who occasionally hands over
their PC to others. With guest profiles, you won't have to worry about
your friends signing you out of Facebook and Gmail, futzing with your
bookmarks, or spying some personal browsing habits you'd rather keep
private.



The addition of guest profiles is yet another feature that is slowly
migrating from Chrome OS to Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux.


Guests on Chrome


Get started by copying and pasting the following line of text into Chrome's address bar: chrome://flags/#enable-new-profile-management . Then, press Enter.
This will open up a highlighted option called "Enable new profile
management system." Click the "Enable" link below the feature title.









 

As you can see from the
description, the new management system includes a variety of features,
including profile sign-out and a new avatar menu.




The new profile menu also lets you lock your current profile to keep
others from using it. I strongly advise against using the lock feature
right now. In my tests, I was able to lock my Chrome profile, but I
wasn't able to get back in. Not sure why that happened, but hey, it's a
beta, so hiccups are expected.




Anyway, back to enabling guest profiles. After clicking the "Enable"
link, click the "Relaunch Now" button that will appear at the bottom of
the web page.




If you don't see the relaunch button just close and re-open the browser.






New profile system



 Once you've rebooted Chrome, the new user profile system should be working.





 





If you're already using user profiles in Chrome, you'll notice that
enabling the new system moves the user profiles from the upper left
corner of Chrome to the upper right.




You also won't see the user avatars; instead, you see the name of the current Chrome profile being used. In my case, it's "Ian."




Click on the new profile system and in the drop-down menu you'll see an option towards the bottom that says "Browse as guest."




Select that option and a new browser window will open without any of
your personal settings, history, or extensions. Your friends can now use
your PC in peace, and you won't have to worry about searches for Justin
Bieber showing up in your Google Now results.
