Creating a New Profile

  1. Open Chrome: Launch the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
  2. Click on the Profile Icon: Look for the profile icon in the top right corner of your browser window. It usually appears as a circle with your initial or a picture.
  3. Select "Manage people": This option will open a new window where you can manage your existing profiles and create new ones.
  4. Click "Add person": This will allow you to create a new profile.
  5. Choose a Name: Enter the desired name for your new profile.
  6. Select an Icon: You can choose an icon or image to represent your profile.
  7. Click "Add": This will create the new profile.

Deleting the Old Profile

  1. Return to the Profile Manager: Go back to the "Manage people" window.
  2. Select the Old Profile: Click on the three dots next to the profile you want to delete.
  3. Click "Remove": This will delete the old profile.

Now, your new profile with the chosen name will be the default profile for your Chrome browser.
