Google Chrome Profiles

Google Profiles can be a real plus when using chrome.  One of the things I missed most when I gave up Firefox for Chrome was some of the plug-ins that Firefox had.  One of these provided the ability to have multiple Gmail credentials that I could hot swap back and forth from.  Well no longer since I found: ChromeDeck.

To be fair, I found LifeHacker.com and they found ChromeDeck (Article).  So why do I need this and what does it do?  Having browser profiles is best described as a multi-user browser.  I have more than one Gmail account primarily because I want more than one Google Voice Number.  Switching back and forth always entailed logging out and logging back in which is a real pain when you want to check voicemail.  Enter ChromeDeck:

ChromeDeck is a freeware and Windows-only tool, which simplifies the task of creating and managing separate user profiles for Google Chrome. You need Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to use it. After downloading and installing ChromeDeck, launch it to create and manage user profiles.

Chrome Deck will allow you to create and run multiple instances of Chrome with its own set of cookies, thereby allowing you to have more than one set of Google credentials.  I not going to justify my need for more than one Google Voice number, but for those of you who have the same issue, this is a really nice solution.
