It's entirely unclear to me whether feature requests should be posted
here or on the issue tracker, but this one seems to be the place, so
here goes.

Let's say that I have more than one Gmail address - one for work, one
personal one, another few for some of my websites, neat-o. Right now,
if I want to check all of those e-mail addresses, I have to log out
and re-log in. So I was thinking 'hey, wouldn't it be neat if I could
add multiple application links (or something), each of which opening
one of my email inboxes?'. Well, I wasn't actually thinking that, but
it does give a background for the idea itself.

The basic idea is that a special mode is added to Chrome in its
'application link'-mode, i.e. the link on a user's desktop/start menu/
quickstart bar, in which all information contained in that specific
application link (i.e. that website) is isolated from the 'shared'
Chrome data. For the Gmail example, this would mainly involve the
Gmail login information (cookies and such), but I'm sure that many
more neat applications can be figured out for that one.

With this specific feature, it would be possible to have several Gmail
application links in one's start menu / quickstart bar / desktop, each
one opening a different e-mail account. Expanded to Chrome in general,
for example through either bookmarks or a flag that can be set in a
new Chrome tab, one could have several tabs opened to different Gmail
accounts - or other sites where one could have multiple simultaneous
logins - without one affecting the other.

I personally don't need a history feature when I have Gmail opened,
and besides, when I navigate away from the Gmail page - for example
when clicking a link - Chrome will, instead of re-using the Chrome
window in application mode, open up a new tab in the 'main' Chrome
process. The regular Chrome operation - store history, cookies and
whatnot in a central repository - would then be resumed from that
point on.

I personally think that something like that would be neat and
convenient, and would boost productivity and the need to re-login to
various websites, mainly e-mail websites.

I know, it's currently already possible to have multiple instances of
Gmail open using incognito mode, but that one doesn't keep you logged
in after you close the window, so unless you have Gmail open all day -
which normal people shouldn't, ;) - that's not really a proper
solution.

Anyways, just poasting a suggestion, I somehow doubt it (and a lot of
other suggestions, =D) are going to be implemented anytime soon, but I
just might've inspired a developer or something. Also, I wasn't able
to find other similar suggestions, so I'm hoping I didn't just waste
fifteen minutes (or so) typing all this.
