Extension summary

With the extension, you can: 1️⃣ Select the default account for all Google™ products (except Youtube™). 2️⃣ Customize default accounts for each product separately. 3️⃣ Quickly switch between accounts using the hotkey "Option (Alt) + {num}" (to edit/disable this shortcut type "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" in the URL bar).

It's common for users to have multiple accounts: several personal, several work- or client-related. And it's annoying to switch between them every time you receive a Google Meet™ link or open Gmail™.

With the Default Account Manager for Google™ products, you can, for example, set up work accounts for Google Meet™ and personal for Gmail™, etc.

Save yourself precious time and frustration by using our extension.

This is probably one of the most useful browser extensions around. It would be perfect if they port it to Safari as changing login for meet.google.com is such a PITA... but we would like to avoid Chrome if possible.

I love this extension, it does exactly what I want regarding switching between my work and personal gmail accounts, the ALT+<account> switcher works great and the rules make it a breeze to add a default account for a particular service. It's working perfectly for me and has been since I started using it well over a year ago. I'm not sure why the other reviewers are having difficulty with it. I'm getting a warning now that Google is reporting that it's not compliant with their new rules, hope this gets updated so that I can continue to use it!
