Google
Chrome comes with lots of features and capabilities. Possibly, its features,
capabilities, and ease of use make it one of the most popular browsers. Also,
this could be the reason why people like to use it. You can use your Chrome
browser as a computer; it gives you a store to download themes and extensions,
allows you to change the home background, and lets you create and use multiple
profiles.
Maybe
only a few of you know about this, but you can create a separate profile and
use it as a new browser. It means the browsing history, bookmarked sites,
searches are only yours. Not just this, you can also get your profile on other
devices with Google Sync. Similarly, Chrome has also given an option of Guest
Window. This feature is for the situation when someone without a user profile
wants to use your profile. If you have a common system, then these features
could be the best use for you.
Step 1: Launch your Chrome
Browser
The
procedure given for using Guest Mode in Chrome may vary depending on the
versions. If you don’t want to be confused, just update your Chrome app right
away. Accessing Guest Window is very easy from the profile menu that you’ll get
by clicking your tiny profile picture icon just next to the address field.
First,
you’ll need to start your Chrome. Click twice the Chrome icon on your desktop
to launch it. Make sure your Chrome browser is open in the full window.
Step 2: Enable Guest Browsing
in Chrome Settings (for old version)
If
you’ve updated your Chrome, jump directly to Step 3.
In
some versions of Google Chrome, enabling guest browsing is necessary. If you’re
operating an older version of Chrome, then you may need to do this. Don’t
worry, enabling it not a complicated job, and it will only take a few minutes.
Open
the Chrome menu by clicking the hamburger icon at the upper right corner and
select ‘Settings’ in the dropdown. Or else, search for ‘chrome://settings’ with
the search bar. You should now see the Chrome settings interface on your
desktop. Here, go down to the ‘People’ section and place a checkbox in the box
of ‘Enable Guest Browsing’. Once you complete this, Guest browsing mode in your
Chrome is ready to be used.
Step 3: Open the Guest Window
Browsing
Chrome
allows you to open Guest Window from anywhere in the browser, either you’re
watching a movie or reading news. Just a few clicks and Guest Window is on your
screen. Don’t think too much; it will not close your work or movie. Guest Mode
opens in a new window, so when you close it, the standard Chrome window will
all your open tabs comes up on the screen. Now, go through the below
directions.
1.
Wherever you’re in Chrome, just click your ‘Profile Picture’ icon in the Chrome
toolbar. A dropdown menu opens with your profile picture and several other
options.
2.
Click on ‘Open Guest window’.
That’s
it! You’ll see a new Chrome window opening on your screen. It is the Guest
window, now browse as a guest. Guest Mode is somewhat like incognito mode; it
doesn’t leave any browsing history, as well as other data like cookies.
To close the Guest Mode:
1.
Click on the ‘Guest’ icon right where you clicked on your profile picture icon
in the Chrome toolbar.
2.
And select ‘Exit Guest’.
This
will close the guest window and clear everything, including searches, websites
and other activities. It will take you back to the standard Chrome window where
you’ll find all your open tabs. This way you can open easily open the Guest
mode browsing when you need.
