I'm new to linux plaform. I use Kali Linux 2021.3 Vmware version. I downloaded TOR browser to default account which is "kali". But I created another user, and I need to use TOR browser in that user. How can I make TOR browser available in the second user?

If you are not fully experienced and competent using Linux based distributions and fully conversant with using the terminal, then you should not be using Kali [please go to the Kali website and read ALL the documentation]

this is taken from a tor specific site
""With the way the Tor Browser is currently built, it ships with a dedicated profile prepared in advance. That profile cannot be shared by multiple users. .""

ok then it seems that I can't do that to TOR. What if I want to do that with another program. For an example take chrome.
 
Have you read the Kali documentation yet? This is the important bit....
This from the Kali documentation [what this means is you have to be linux competent to install and use Kali]

Is Kali Linux Right For You?


As the distribution’s developers, you might expect us to recommend that everyone should be using Kali Linux. The fact of the matter is, however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers and security specialists, and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux or are looking for a general-purpose Linux desktop distribution for development, web design, gaming, etc.
Even for experienced Linux users, Kali can pose some challenges. Although Kali is an open source project, it’s not a wide-open source project, for reasons of security. The development team is small and trusted, packages in the repositories are signed both by the individual committer and the team, and - importantly - the set of upstream repositories from which updates and new packages are drawn is very small. Adding repositories to your software sources which have not been tested by the Kali Linux development team is a good way to cause problems on your system.

It can be done in most Linux distributions with Firefox [and I believe chrome]
