In order to give users more options to distinguish their personal browser profiles on shared devices, Google Chrome updated its customization settings.
With the update, users can more easily locate their profile so that they can switch between them, preventing family members from saving websites or passwords on another account and then having to fix it later on. When adding or updating a profile on a device, users can add a photo, change their browser background, edit color schemes, and more.
Google has already launched the update on PC, however the company has not yet stated whether or not users will be able to access it on their Android and iOS devices.
