How to Create Multiple Chrome Profiles and Install the Extension on Each Profile

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create multiple Chrome profiles and install a Chrome extension on each profile using developer mode:

  1. Open Chrome: Launch the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
  2. Access Chrome Settings: Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the Chrome window to open the menu. From the menu, select "Settings."
  3. Manage People: In the Settings page, find the "People" section. Click on "Add person." This will allow you to create a new Chrome profile.
  4. Create a New Profile: Enter a name for the new profile and choose a profile picture if desired. Click "Add." This creates a new Chrome profile, and a new browser window will open for this profile.
  5. Enable Developer Mode: Open a new tab in the newly created profile and type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar. Toggle the "Developer mode" switch in the top-right corner of the Extensions page.
  6. Load Unpacked Extension: Click on the "Load unpacked" button. Select the folder containing the Chrome extension files you want to install. Make sure the extension is in developer mode to install it on this profile.
  7. Repeat for Additional Profiles: If you want to add the same extension to other profiles, repeat steps 3 to 6 for each profile you've created.
  8. Verify Installed Extensions: Go to chrome://extensions/ in each profile and confirm that the desired extension is listed and enabled.
By following these steps, you can create multiple Chrome profiles and install a Chrome extension on each profile using developer mode. Each profile will have its own set of extensions and settings, providing a distinct browsing experience.
