The latest Chrome beta adds a couple useful new features. Users can keep their identities separate, which is useful for families with multiple users.

Chrome currently allows multiple users but isn’t nearly as well thought out compared to what Chrome beta has to offer. You can switch users by clicking on the You button at the top right of the screen and then selecting Switch person.

This keeps your data separate from everyone else’s. No one else can see your bookmarks, extensions, saved passwords or browsing history without having to log back in. Each person’s browser data is completely separated.

The Chrome beta also ads a new Guest mode, which lets your friends use your browser without them saving anything. This protects your friend from forgetting they’re logged in on Facebook. Chrome will delete guest session data once the browser is closed.

To check it out yourself, download the Google Chrome beta below.
