"Get started by clicking on 'You' in the upper right corner of your Chrome window and then clicking 'Sign in to Chrome.' You'll be able to switch devices and pick up where you left off with all of your tabs, bookmarks, and history automatically kept in sync. If you share a computer, click 'Switch person' to add your profile and get your own bookmarks, apps, and theme. Switching lets you keep your stuff separate," explained Google.
There's also support for guest mode. "With the new 'Guest mode,' you can let others use Chrome without letting them see your stuff. And after they've closed out their tabs, their browsing information is deleted from your computer as well." That's the main difference between incognito and guest mode: guest mode is treated as a separate profile that doesn't have access to the data from your main profile.
You can also enable these features in chrome://flags:
1. copy this text in the address bar and press Enter:
chrome://flags/#enable-new-avatar-menu
2. select "Enable" in the dropdown below "Enable the new avatar menu"
3. (optional) select "Enable" next to "Enable fast user switching in the avatar menu" to quickly switch between profiles
4. click "Relaunch now" at the bottom of the page to restart the browser.
Pick "Disable" instead of "Enable" to turn off the new avatar menu.
With features like guest mode and account switcher, Chrome looks more and more like an operating system. After all, these features were borrowed from Chrome OS.
