Adding or switching to a new Google account first
You can use Google Chrome without a Google account, but you’ll miss out on most features.
If you prefer, you can make a new Google account (if you don’t already have another one), which is very easy to do and only takes a few minutes. Once you have your shiny new account, go to your Chrome browser and click your profile icon in the top right-hand corner. This will make a box appear which shows your signed-in browser profile. Click Add Chrome Profile. Follow the on-screen instructions to sign into the new account and set your preferences.
Once done with the setup, you can click on your profile icon again, then you’ll see your alternative profiles under Other Chrome Profiles. You can also select them to switch, if you prefer.
Now that you’ve signed in to the new account, let’s remove the old one.

FAQs
When you remove a Google account from Chrome, all browsing history, bookmarks, and tab sync history will remain inside the account. You can access that data by signing into the account on Chrome again.
There is no longer a default Google account on Chrome, as you can switch between them seamlessly. That said, it will often treat the first Google account you sign into as the main one. Sign out of all accounts, and log into the one you want it to treat as a default account first, then log into the other ones.
