Creating a separate user becomes important when your PC/Laptop is shared by many peoples. Creating a different user don’t make your browser secure nor your personal data such as emails and passwords. This is just an alternative for a separate browser. The users will have a different browser experience having their own bookmarks, history, and saved passwords.
Create a separate user in Google Chrome
You can easily create separate profiles for other users in Chrome. But, that won’t enhance your privacy or security. This is just for convenience who would already be sharing Chrome on the same account.
To make a new user account in Chrome, Open up the Settings menu. The settings menu is present on the top right corner of the Window. Go to Users->Add New User..
You have to choose a picture and enter a name. You can use name Guest, if you want to make separate browsing profile for all guests. You can select on “Create a desktop shortcut for this user” below, which will make a desktop shortcut for the new user.
Once created, you can switch between different users within Chrome to access it.

In the run prompt, type the following dialogue:
firefox.exe –p
The Firefox profile manager will open up. Click on Create profile button to create new user profiles.
