I now use FF at home for one simple reason. Two people at home using two different Google accounts and need to switch between them. In Chrome it decides one of those is the 'logged in account' and the name shows in the browser bar. It is then the default every time you open say a new GMail etc. That is so annoying. This doesn't seem to happen in Firefox!
- crazygringo 8y agoThat's what the "People" menu is for in Chrome. If you have multiple people at home, then they can get their own bookmarks, search histories, etc.
- quickthrower2 8y agoYeah I'm crap with new features like that being forced on me. I don't really have the time to read up on it, what it is doing behind the scenes etc, if I can trust it.
- chrisseaton 8y agoThis is handled at the OS layer with user accounts - can’t you switch users at the OS level?
- quickthrower2 8y agoI could but this ain't a corporate scenario.
- chrisseaton 8y agoAll major consumer desktop operating systems still have user accounts - you don't need a corporate system to do it. You'll probably find that you can permanently log both users in at the same time, and then switching between them is just a shortcut and takes a fraction of a second, so it needn't be a burden. You may find it's even faster than changing the user in Firefox. That's why it's great to do these things at the OS level - it can be done efficiently once for every app and not reimplemented lots of times badly like in Firefox.
