Workspace app version on my Chromebook: 21.1.6.4168 Chrome OS version on my Chromebook: Version 89.0.4389.76 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) Though the users we get the same complaints from most probably are not on the beta channel and have little to no extensions installed. The Chrome Browser can be configured and managed in several ways. But most recently, there have been some significant advancements in the Google Admin console to centrally manage and quickly see the status of Chrome Browser across your business desktop endpoints.

The flexibility of i3 allows me to manage windows effortlessly. However, I have a problem with chrome (both google-chrome and chromium).

I have a personal gmail account (and related chrome user/profile) and work google apps account (under a different chrome user/profile).

What I want is to find a config solution that would understand opening the first chrome profile in workspace X and the second profile in workspace Y. Problem is that both chrome windows (each profile opens a different window) have the same 'class' and 'instance' (according to xprop). Also, the 'name' property is unreliable as it changes depending on the page currently displayed.

Both chrome profiles are started at boot with an 'exec' instruction in the config file. I tried the '--class' GTK flag but it only works with the first 'exec' (first profile/chrome window opened) while the second one (second profile) retains the first class definition and ignores its own flag. Chrome runs all profiles in the same process tree apparently so the one 'class' defined at first start sticks until quit.

How would I instruct i3 to open each profile in a different workspace?

Hope I've been clear. Thank you in advance for your help.

KJ44, I've looked into it before posting the question but it does not solve the problem as marking windows requires user intervention, which is not what I was looking for. Thank you very much anyway. I believe Michael answer is the solution.
