Chrome

The Chrome ecosystem does not have much support for containerizing cookies, yet.

You can do this now through having multiple profiles, which is a native feature of Chrome. As such, Google itself will continue to know who you are and how to associate all of those accounts' cookies.

Safari

Apple has attempted to offer similar functionality automatically, in the form of Intelligent Tracking Prevention. There's not much configurable.

Internet Explorer

Doesn't seem to be any way, yet.
