The New Shared Chrome Experience

Armed with an impressive app and extension store and bold security claims, Chrome needs little added incentive for its 200 million users – but they will find their Chrome life easier with the 16.0.912.63 update released today.  Along with security fixes, Chrome 16 features multi-user support that, along with the previously available Sync capability, makes it even easier to enjoy a personalized Chrome experience on any computer.

The Multi-User Support allows separate users to use their own Chrome profiles on the same computer on the browser level.  This allows users to switch between profiles without signing in and out of the operating system.  Google itself warns that synced data is not secured since anyone can switch profiles and see information – but Multi-User Support is a more convenient way to share a personalized Chrome experience on a single computer – with those you trust.
