Multiple profiles in Chrome on Ubuntu
If you’re running Chrome on Ubuntu (likely elsewhere too), you can run multiple copies of Chrome with fully different profiles by launching it with the --user-data-dir option. For example, I run two copies of Chrome like so:
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --user-data-dir=~/.config/google-chrome-work &
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --user-data-dir=~/.config/google-chrome-personal &
