Adding the Extensions


  1. Open the Google Chrome browser 

  1. Make sure you are not signed into Chrome with your personal Gmail. Copy and paste chrome://settings into your URL bar and check to see if you are syncing with any email.

  2. If you need to add a user please read Share Chrome with others and follow the steps under Add a new profile.
