QUESTION: How can I password-protect (or otherwise secure) my Gogle Chrome profile (on someone else's Windows computer, so that he cannot access it)? I keep finding various tutorials to do it but they seem to be outdated and current Chrome doesn't seem to support this...??? I also found several relevant Chrome extensions to do it but they are very old and unmaintained. What am I missing?

What about workaround? Veracrypt encrypted folder with the Chrome profile?

That sounds like last-ditch solution. Also, what would happen if I accidentally launched my Chrome profile WITHOUT first decrypting the directory?

@mprymek
I think it WAS possible to encrypt your home directory using separate password. Right in Chrome. That would be OK with me

If you don't need to be secure against malicious admin, then probably EFS is a way to go? Not available in Windows Home though...

Or Veracrypt as suggested earlier.
