I have used this now for years.

It's a fucking godsend, every computer I have has 3 different Chrome accounts on it, all short cuts on my tool bar.

On windows at least it is trivial, extremely trivial, to switch between them. You will generally be in one of the modes, for me these are "their company", "my company", "personal".

Whichever one you used last will be the one that receives the "open internet" command. So if you are in "their work" mode, reading your emails in their email client it will open the google doc in the right context.

For you your workflow is somehow broken, for me that's exactly what I want. If I'm in "their work" mode, I want all browsers to open in that context. I'm not expecting them to be psychic. That means 95% of the time it just works because you are already in the right context. The other 5% you get used to very quickly. If I open up my personal email account, I want any next links clicked to be opened in that context.

Added bonus, it's great for every SASS not just just google accounts.
