MacOS open a new chrome instance without extensions or profile

I would like to open a clean instance of chrome without a user profile or extensions. I'm aware I can do this with:

open -a "Google Chrome" --args --user-data-dir=/dev/null --disable-extensions

However this won't work if I already have chrome open.

Is there a way to have my normal chrome open, and an additional clean one along side it?

This was simpler by just opening the guest profile from the top right of Chrome which achieved the same thing

You can do this from terminal.app:

open --new -a "Google Chrome" --args --disable-extensions

Take note of the --new part. This will ensure to open a new instance.
