Arya RoyGoogle Chrome provides its users with a number of features to personalise your experience on your browser. One of these is creating a profile on the Google Chrome browser.
Profiles on the Chrome browser allows you to retain your information, such as passwords, history, bookmarks, and other settings, and keep them separate. The feature can prove to be useful when you have to share your device with other users. You can also keep your work and personal browsing experience separate from each other. You are recommended to use the feature for your own usage as otherwise, others may be able to see your Chrome profile info, such as your search history.
