Can I create a new session in another tab or window in Google Chrome? [duplicate]
I have multiple accounts on many of the same services. I would like a better way to manage my sessions.
- A personal Gmail account, and one for work
- A personal Amazon account, one for work
- A personal hosting account, one for work, one I manage for a freelance client
- Many other scenarios like this
As a developer, I'd like to avoid repetitive logins for
- browse as a logged-in admin
- browse as a logged-in user
- browse as a guest, or any other role
I'd like to avoid having to logout, login, logout, login, over and over again.
I understand that some services like Gmail offer simultaneous logins, but I want a general purpose solution that works for all services.
Chrome Incognito Mode is not designed for this
Chrome Incognito Mode gives you a new cookie jar, but cookies are shared across other incognito windows. At best, this means you can have two sessions.
Other browser extensions you may rely upon are not available in Incognito windows (nor should they be)
This isn't Incognito's intended purpose
Currently, this is not possible.
You can use multiple profiles in Google Chrome, though. Read the instructions here.
- Enable multiple accounts: https://www.google.com/accounts/MultipleSessions
- Then, create a bookmark(let) or a keyboard shortcut for each mailbox:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox
