I had that same issue on Safari where I couldn't switch between accounts. I solved this by clearing all cookies and local storage. You will have to enable the developer tools on Safari (Safari > Preferences > Advanced). Then from gmail, click show web inspector and delete all cooking and local storage (trash icon on top right). Maybe only cookies is needed, but went for a full cleanup.

Hello GermanFrankz,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We understand you're having trouble switching your Google account in Safari. We're happy to assist you with this.


Let's go ahead and quit the Safari app, and restart the Mac:

How to force an app to quit on your Mac

Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac

Try going to Google's website using a different web browser. See if it gives you the option to switch accounts now.


Best Regards.
