I want to run multiple Google Chrome application windows logged into the same web site (Twitter.com, say), each with different credentials. Is this possible? If so, how?
My initial testing shows that multiple Chrome app windows are not sufficiently isolated to do this. Logging into the second account logs me into the second account in both windows, suggesting that they are sharing information just as two Chrome tabs might.
You can use a Chrome "Incognito" window for this.
As you've found, Chrome windows are (like in most browsers) just groupings for tabs, not an authentication barrier.
look for a plugin called "swap my cookies"
You can't do that with chrome Incognito windows.
Take a look here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24690.
So that's right you can create only two isolated session: one incognito and one normal.
See the latest post:
Although it's an extension / plug-in and not in core Chromium, MultiLogin has been working quite well for me: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nccllfnllopfpcbjdgjdlfmomnfgnnbk
It can open new tabs, each with their own cookie jar.

I am facing a Chrome popup while trying to run Robot Frame work script:
Microsoft Security Essentials wants to restore your Chrome settings to their
original defaults.
This will reset your homepage, new tab page and
search engine, disable your extensions, and unpin all tabs. It will
also clear other temporary and cached data, such as cookies, content
and site data.
In chrome extension, my developer mode is unchecked, whereas it should be checked.
The Robot Framework automation script is just to open the google Chrome browser and load google search page.
I am using Win 7 Home Basic OS.
I have attached screenshots.
It appears that most Chrome support specialists will ask you to run an anti-malware tool to verify that your system is running normally. These can be found by searching on the popup message.
One Reddit user commented that in his case the problem was resolved by altering the Windows registry:
I finally found a fix for this. There is a setting in the registry
that's causing it.
In the registry it's under
HKEY_CKU\CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\TriggeredReset
Delete the TriggeredReset key and then close regedit. Fixed.
This is an API for 3rd party programmers who want to create cleaning
tools. But if the tool isn't written properly, the triggered reset
never gets deleted and we have it always asking.
Google Chrome Sync Settings shows 'Sync is disabled by your administrator.'
I'm using my company's laptop and I'd like to sync my content to my Google Account with which I have already logged into Google Chrome.
Not able to turn Sync ON.
Thanks!
You'll need to talk to your company's IT department, as they have deliberately disabled Chrome Sync.
Alternatively, so far it is possible to use the browser Iron Portable, that can sync with Chrome (it is a Chrome-like browser), and apparently ignores these user policy settings, as it is able to sync all data correctly.
How do I completely remove all data about a single domain in Google Chrome? (in one action)
Use case:
I am developing an offline web application, and frequently need to 'start fresh' while testing
Chrome's "Clear browsing data" can only be limited to time, not domains
Removing a domain's pages in history does not remove service workers
App Cache doesn't work properly in Chrome's Incognito mode
Ideally, a UI button or keyboard shortcut would be best. Extensions are fine, if they work.
Please don't submit answer unless service workers are also removed (I know there are many solutions for cookies/cache etc).
thanks
Chrome now includes a 'Clear storage' function in the 'Application' tab of dev tools (using v52). Thanks Chrome!
The question is regarding Bracket.io with Chrome as the default browser.
When using the option "Live Preview" Chrome browser opens with the live document, but does not show me the extensions and bookmarks that I have installed on my browser.
This is when Chrome opens Brackets Live Preview:
This is when I open it myself (with extensions and bookmarks but without automatic updates), which is how I would like to have it:
How I set it to open Chrome with my bookmarks and extensions?
Brackets Live Preview uses a separate Chrome profile from your regular copy of Chrome. It starts out as a completely clean new profile, so it won't have any of your regular bookmarks, etc. But Live Preview reuses that same profile on each subsequent launch -- so if you add bookmarks to the window Live Preview is running in, they'll reappear the next time you use Live Preview.
There are a couple good reasons for this, and also one way to work around it that's become available recently.
Quoting from my answer to "Why does Brackets open a new instance of chrome when using Live Editor?":
The Chrome profile that Brackets launches for Live Preview has the
Chrome Remote Debugging
API
enabled. There are two reasons Brackets uses a separate profile for
this:
Remote Debugging is off by default, and enabling it requires re-launching Chrome. Using a separate profile means your existing
browsing session doesn't have to be restarted, which would be
disruptive if you have lots of tabs open.
It reduces security slightly -- other processes on your local machine could use the Remote Debugging API to monitor / interfere
with other browsing you do in this Chrome window. (The API is not
exposed to the network, so if you trust your computer to be
malware-free, this is less of a concern).
If you don't like having to open a separate Chrome window, you can
check File > Enable Experimental Live Preview to try out a new Live
Preview implementation that doesn't require the Remote Debugging API,
and thus doesn't launch a new copy of Chrome. You can't use this
option if your project has a custom server URL set, though.
This is by design, as it sets various flags needed for remote debugging.
See this issue report on GitHub: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/8653
In your first Chrome Browser : If you don't have chrome account, please SignUp and Login. All of your Chrome Preference will be save in your account.
Then, in Brackets's Chrome Browser you have to login to Show all of your Chrome extensions
& Bookmarks.
I am trying to use MSAA (on Win7) to get the addressbar in chrome browser and replace it with a different url. When chrome is launched normally (as the loggedon user), I am able to find the addressbar using the IAccessible interface by traversing through the UI tree of the window classes owned by the process.
However, if I launch chrome as a different user (by using RunAs in windows), I see window with name, "chrome legacy window" when going through the classes owned by the "RunAs" process. The window hierarchy and the content within is vastly different from what I see if I scan the process that is running as the logged on user.
Although I can see (window classnames) Chrome_WidgetWin_0 & Chrome_WidgetWin_1 in both the browser instances, only the one running as the current user is giving access to the address bar.
Any idea on what is happening when chrome is launched as a different user? Is there any workaround or should I be looking at a different technology?
As Penn has noted this may have something to do with the PDF view which has caused peculiar problems in the strangest of places.
Looking at the bug tracker here it looks like sporadic behaviour with PDFs and the "legacy window" has been introduced in a recent build so perhaps try rolling back to an earlier version of Chrome.
Also I presume you are using chrome://accessibility with
Global accessibility mode: on
Show internal accessibility tree instead of native: on
or starting chrome with the flag --force-renderer-accessibility it seems to be a prerequisite for other automation programs like autoit as seen here.
If you can't get this method working I'd recommend trying the autoit script there.
Here is an autoit code example that shows grabbing the address bar and using it for general navigation, upon other things!
I have found that if a PDF file is open in the chrome viewer (in some versions of chrome) the window you referred to appears. Please confirm what URL is being used when you open chrome.
I have also read that a password request prompt can cause the same window to open. The PDF window only appears if the window is launched by certain processes/users
