If you use the default Google account, your browser will automatically revert to that account if it changes. If you don’t use the default Google account, you’ll need to change it.
The default Google account is a bit of a hassle. You might not use it often, but you have to remember to switch accounts every time you want to use a different one. This can be annoying.
The first method is to use the Google Chrome browser extension. This extension can be found on the Chrome web store. Once you have installed it, open it and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. This will take you to a page that looks like this: Once you have clicked on that page, you will be taken to a page that looks like this: You will now see two options in the top left corner of the window: “Change Default Account” and “Change Account Type”. The first option is for your Google account, and the second option is for a new account that you just created. The first option should be chosen if you want to change your Google account’s name or email address. The second option should be chosen if you want to change your Google account’s password or security code. If both options are chosen, then your new Google account will be created automatically. If either of those options are not chosen, then you can still create a new Google account by clicking on “Create New Account” on the main page of the extension.
Sign in With the Default Google Account First
Your browser doesn’t let you choose a random Google account as the default. Rather, it assigns that slot to the first account that you sign in with. This means that if you have any Google accounts as your default, you can only have one of them as your default.
If you have multiple Google accounts, you’ll need to sign out of each one and sign in to a new default account. The process is easier than you think, but it’s worth doing if you want to keep your data separate. ..

Signing out of all Google accounts will stop Chrome from syncing your browsing data. It will only resume once you sign back into the Google account that you’ve set up at the browser level for syncing purposes.

If you want to change that as well, you must turn off Chrome Sync and sign in with another account via Chrome Settings. ..
Add Google Account to a New Profile
If you frequently want to change your Google accounts, it might be helpful to use separate browser profiles. This way, you won’t have to sign out and back in all the time.

The New Default
Until Google implements the means to specify the default Google account directly, both of the methods above should help. To recap, signing out and logging back in works if you have no intention of changing default accounts regularly. Otherwise, using separate browser profiles is the way to go.
