Google Account Chooser: The Right Account

Google Account Chooser

A Chrome extension that automatically routes Google service links through native Google Account Chooser so you can pick the right Google account before the page loads, no more accidentally opening Gmail or Drive in the wrong account.

Version 2.0 adds a dashboard: every signed-in account with its unread mail and a launcher that opens services straight in that account, plus your bookmarks, search, open tabs, recent files and statistics, in a page, the toolbar popup or Chrome's side panel.

Install

Install from the Chrome Web Store
Install from sources on GitHub

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. The extension doesn't ask you to sign in and doesn't use Google APIs, account names, photos and unread counts are read with your existing Google session. Settings are stored with chrome.storage.sync; the account cache and statistics stay in local storage. History and bookmarks are read only after you turn those sections on. No data is collected, transmitted, or shared with any third party.
