Example: In Chrome 69, Google made it so that each time you sign in and use a Google service like Gmail, Maps or YouTube, your Google account will be automatically logged in to the Chrome browser.
There were outrage but Google had provided a flag to turn it off. It was in chrome://flags/#account-consistency.
Thanks! I didn't know I could turn that off. I "solved" it by wrapping chrome with my own home grown tooling to maintain multiple parallel profile directories, so I could run "work chrome" and "chrome for gmail" and "chrome for web browsing". Of course, now I use firefox for all 3 so I don't have the problem anymore... :)
Its a paranoid reading of the normal launch process.
Behind the scenes every major change like that is a flag that's deployed first off then slowly flipped to default true as a rollout so that it's as low risk as possible of unintended damage / failure.
This was actually the update and app behaviour that pushed me off of chrome back to firefox. been using firefox for all my browsing needs since. No issues.
I’m confused. I have a normal google account which I sign into chrome with and I have a google apps google account through my university. When I sign into google properties with my university account I remain logged into chrome on my personal account.
