FWIW, this is also doable in Firefox: try 'firefox --new-instance -ProfileManager'; you can also directly open up a new profile from the command line (and hence do the same from scripts, desktop entries, or whatever else your platform supports).

I have one profile for my finances, one with NoScript in blacklist mode, and then my normal profile.

Yeah, I know it can be done, I use Chrome because it's more convenient to click the profile icon and pop up the new profile in a new window. In my experience with Firefox profile switching it's always been a much more involved process than the two-click Chrome process.
