How can I have multiple browsing sessions in Google Chrome?

Chrome supports multiple user profiles, you can make use of this to have multiple browsing sessions.

Click on the Chrome Menu (Mac users: Chrome-Preferences) → Click on Add New User. Now, there's a new instance of Chrome with a entirely different profile from the current user, so the cookies and the like are not shared.

Now, when you launch a new window, you can select a user profile to switch between & hence have multiple sessions.

I don't know about the MAC, but

mkdir newProfile
chrome --user-data-dir=newProfile

Works great here on Linux!


Try using an Incognito window.
