I copy from Jim in case his site goes – thank you
If you’re using an older version of Chrome or Chromium and you don’t have the Multiple Profiles option, you can use the switch
|
1
|
--user-data-dir |
when opening the browser and the profile for your session will be pulled from the given folder instead of the Default folder. The folder specified should be created automatically. To be safe, I like to create the folder before providing it as an argument.
As explained here, the default directory is located at:
|
1
2
|
Google Chrome: ~/.config/google-chrome/DefaultChromium: ~/.config/chromium/Default |
Open a terminal and create a new directory for your second profile. For instance:
|
1
|
mkdir ~/.config/google-chrome/work |
Then, open Google Chrome with the switch:
|
1
|
google-chrome --user-data-dir='~/.config/google-chrome/work'Â Â & |
chromium-browser –user-data-dir=’/home/mark/.config/chromium/totnes’ &
