Using Multiple Browser Profiles with Google Chrome

What: Multiple Browser Profiles

Multiple browser profiles are separate user profiles within your web browser. These profiles are isolated from each other and allow you to keep your Westmoreland and WestMET accounts distinct. Much like you can log into two separate computers with two separate user accounts, browser profiles allow a user to log into two separate instances of a web browser, treating them as totally separate.

Who: Employees who need to act as both WestMET and Westmoreland users

Employees who need to manage accounts for both organizations can greatly benefit from using multiple browser profiles. This includes those who frequently switch between their work identities.

Key Features of Multiple Browser Profiles:

Isolation: Each profile operates independently, ensuring that Westmoreland and WestMET accounts do not interfere with each other.
Efficiency: Streamline your online activities by having dedicated profiles for each organization.
