Google’s handing of multiple accounts is still terrible though since everything is based off an index in order of sign in. Share or bookmark a work link? /u/2 is embedded in it. If later the personal account was the second login, you’d get access denied.
They’re better at offering a switch account ui in some places but definitely not most.
- macNchz 4y agoThis is one of the main reasons I love Firefox’s “Multi Account Containers” extension. I can easily keep logins segregated and don’t need to worry about whether any given part of Google’s ecosystem plays nicely with their account picker.
- jvolkman 4y agoIf you're bookmarking, you can edit the URL and use `?authuser=foo@bar.com` instead. So instead of: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#starred https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#starred bookmark: https://mail.google.com/mail/?authuser=foo@bar.com#starred https://mail.google.com/mail/?authuser=foo@bar.com#starred The URL will be immediately rewritten as the proper /u/# for that user (which, as you say, depends on login order). Not sure why it's like this, but I could see it being related to not wanting PII in the URL.
