On linux, just create a separate login and use Chrome there. In fact, what I do is create a separate user, start Chrome once, do any configuration I want and then create a tarball of the separate user's home directory. Then to start a fresh it's just a wipe of the whole directory and unpack the tarball again.
It's fast enough to just run Chrome in a loop, and on each exit wipe and unpack the original state again.
I call it Groundhog Day Mode.
- chupasaurus 4y agoOn Linux you could do the same with mount namespace without making a separate user etc.

- zh3 4y agoI used to do this on Firefox, it's where I learnt the trick (before some sites made it necessary to use Chrome, and before Firefox had containers).
