Finally! Google Chrome Beta has moved to version 16, bringing support for multiple profiles. And it only took them a few days to slide the feature from Dev into Beta.

What this means is that you can have all the personal stuff synchronized in any Google Chrome you use.

This is done by signing into the browser with your Google Account as a new user, and the sync service will automatically kick in and deliver your bookmarks, settings, apps, omnibox history and extensions.

Mind that multiple profiles feature aims at offering your own personalized Chrome environment and is by no means intended to keep your data safe.

Anyone accessing your profile will be able to check your history links, installed apps and extensions; so disconnecting your Google Account will not sign you out of an app or lock access to the browsing traces in your profile.
