yaknow, if samsung wants to be a company who does software and stuff like that, then maybe they should go all in.

like, yaknow how microsoft has like, microsoft teams, and outlook and dozens of other relatively good web based stuff, which can be useful in a google operating system with multiple users where a user might have 2 umbrella accounts for themselves.

like, for example, i have a userA+userB setup. i use microsoft things like todo etc, so that i can access the todo list without having to signin from one google umbrella account inside the other, thereby dragging all the userA baggage into userB, or vice versa.

but, maybe samsung themselves should try to be more like a microsoft. like, create a united states company dedicated to software that's not google, but built for the google operating system world of android and chromeos, where users might want a relatively large third party company like microsoft, or in this case, a theoretically more "legit" version of a samsung that acts more like "a microsoft".

possible solution for accessing a userA google umbrella account while signed into a userB umbrella account on chromeOS where i want to avoid data leakage between the two umbrella accounts

ok i think i may have figured out my solution to the issue of having two umbrella accounts and not wanting to mix data between them, but still being able to login to my userA umbrella account when i'm logged into userB on android/chromeOS.

the Opera Browser android app on google play

it seems pretty legit, and it seems kinda desktop-y. so, i just signed into my userA google account using the Opera Browser android app, while logged into my userB google account user setup on my chromebook. I just closed it for a second but i'm gonna try to open it up now and see if i can do what i had done when i was using the linux version of chrome which had better data segregation / separation from the rest of chromeOS in terms of google accounts.

update - ok, so one thing you kinda lose is the complete login to all the other services etc... like, on chrome, you've got all your logged in sites and stuff like that, i suppose i could start logging into things using the opera browser...or maybe even download and try the firefox android app. hm. its almost like, it'd be nice if there was a version of the chrome browser on the google play store specifically made to be used so that it would not automatically login to the google services that you have signed into using the account on your android or chromeos setup. the solution there is essentially the linux version / debian version of the chrome browser. the problem is, google doesn't put *that* version on the google play store for chromeOS. and even if it did, they'd probably think that everyone would want it to auto-login to your google account you have on your chromebook, and while many people maybe would, it goes against the issue trying to be solved in this post, where some people would *not* want it to behave that way.

another idea is the microsoft edge browser.

it'd be nice if some of these android app browsers on the google play store would know when they're being installed on a chromebook and give us a user interface that's slightly better geared for a big screen / mouse and keyboard - like, the bookmarks bar. that'd be a nice addition for these things.
