MacOS – How to force Chrome to open links with specific profile

google-chromemacosmultitasking

I'm using user profile switching in Chrome, which works perfectly fine. Except for when I'm clicking links, that are depending on one of the profiles being logged in. By default Chrome just opens the link in this profile, which was used last.

How can I force Chrome to use specific profile?

Best Answer

With the current version of Chrome (51.0.2704.106 (64-bit)) you can just right-click an url and then open it with the fourth menu choice from top: "Open Link as PROFILE" (your configured Chrome profile).

EDIT: with the current Chrome version: 81.0.4044.92 (Official Build) (64-bit) it's possibile open the link in a different PROFILE when the target profile it's already open.

Here two images by example. Menu when the target PROFILE it's already open:

new profile

Menu without the target PROFILE already open:

no new profile

I hope this helps.
