I'm not sure what you mean. If this involves "sign in to Chromium" then that seems to involve signing in to Google, and that sort of defeats the purpose. Incidentally, Chromium is what I use for Facebook...and only Facebook, on this particular computer. And signing into Chromium with my Google account seems to me to be a big information leak.
Chrome/chromium has the distinction of user profiles[1]. You can have separate windows have separate profiles (but not separate tabs). This has nothing to do with Google accounts. Each profile has their own 'jail' of chrome resources (cookies/history/tabs/etc). This is really useful when you need multiple persisting sessions while doing web dev or whatever else.

Well, I think such a service exists: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2715617/The-D...
Thanks for the find. I feel ( from the pics ) this could be done better. And 5 quid for a newspaper!!!!
Although the service did fold so maybe it was too much.

If you're using Android, then Firefox supports ad blocking. If you're not using Android…well, that's the choice you made.
Last time I checked ad blocking on Android was quite difficult to set up. It requires root, it runs as a background process, and I need to set up a proxy for each wifi connection. When the adblock process died, the internet connection would stop working completely. I just want an ad blocker in the browser, like on the desktop.

You're asking for a individually customized newspaper with no ads or classifieds to support it, that probably needs custom editing every "issue" since no automatic formatter will work 100% of the time. I don't think 5 quid is so unreasonable. Although the service did fold so maybe it was too much.
Per-tab CPU and memory profiling and volume control. Never remove old history items when revisiting a page, but leave the history intact. Treat tabs more like temporary bookmarks (and thus allow bookmark actions to be used with them like search (full-text), (batch) re-naming, arranging in folders, sorting). Notes that can be attached to tabs and to websites. A history of closed tabs. Scripting support with REPL that…
