Chrome Profiles Watchpoints

With Chrome Profiles, you can keep all your Chrome browser information separate, such as bookmarks, history, passwords, and Campus Single Sign-On cached login information.

Profiles are ideal when you want to:

• • • Keep your different accounts, such as work and personal, separate

    • Log in separately to a Shared or Role Mailboxes (without delegation)

    • Share a computer with multiple people

IMPORTANT! Chrome will not allow you to transfer your existing eng.ucsd.edu Chrome Profile to your new ucsd.edu account. However, you can export important bookmarks and import into your new ucsd.edu Chrome Profile once you’ve created it.

Create Chrome Profile: see "Add a New Profile" section here:
