When we have more than one account, when we're using a certain browser, we want to affiliate that browser with certain user account. If possible, please allow the user to set default user account so that any google link will be opened with that user

Hi @kamalhm Thanks for reaching out.

Do you mean a certain browser or a certain app? The main reason for developing this extension was that people prefer to have a different account for different sites. For example: work/school for email, personal for Youtube/search, different for other pages.

I am not sure how many users require a default user pre selected for all sites. Having said that, I don't think it hurts to give it as an optional option to set though.

Sorry my wording was unclear, basically what I'd love to see is to be able to set default profile.

So instead of

  1. open a meet link
  2. press alt + $number

I can instead set $number to be my default, and then open the link, and I don't have to change it again when I go to another meeting, or docs, etc.

I think it's going to be more useful for the people who want to use work profile on working hours, and then switch back to default personal account outside working hours.

Got it. Seems like a good addition. Might take some time for me to work on that based on my current commitments. If this interests you/anyone else. Please feel free to send a PR.
