This is something I discovered today, and I couldn't believe it! If you sign in to Chrome browser, it automatically logs you in to your Google account. Later, if you go to some gmail.com and sign out, it signs you out of Chrome!!! Why the fuck should it do things to my browser? I was merely checking my email and signing in/signing out. Even worse, when you go to gmail.com and sign in to an account, then it signs you into Chrome! Loathsome!!!!!! Why deceptively sign me into chrome when I only wanted to check my email? I know Google has great engineering talent but apparently they have a bunch of donkey brains when it comes to UX and UI. Dumbass motherfuckers.
Are you a paying for this service? If not, I would just shut up and use it as it is.
It's not about paying, it's about how stupid the design feels
We may not be paying for the service but we are the product. If Google is going to sell my info for money, I would expect it to deliver a good quality product in exchange OP is rightful to feel incensed about it
This feature makes sense to me.
And it doesn't confuse you?
It is a shame that their UX team did not optimize things for donkey brains
I take advantage of this behavior. I have my chrome signed on my main google account. When I want to check the emails on another account, which happens not often I just open a private navigation tab. So I never have to sign-in / sign-off to access my main mail account and chrome is always configured as I would like it to be
Absolutely correct feature if same email address is used for signing in
I have 3 different accounts, and i use them all regularly.
So you can sign in as all and use the primary one for chrome. Its how SSO supposed to work. If u r a sr. Software eng you will understanf
Use FireFox. Screw Chrome
Thats because they want your life to become hell if you sign out. Chrome is a data collection tool disguised as a browser. If you sign out of it then Google cannot link your browsing history to your profile. You can see all your browsing history through chrome synced to your Google history at https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity
Right, but if they sign me out of chrome when i merely sign out of Gmail they are losing money aren't they?
Correction: add "as easily" to the end. They definitely are more than capable of shadow tracking you based on IP, cookies and site trackers.
Use Edge 😈
I'm on Linux. Quit windows long ago
Try any of the other browsers and use Chrome only for websites which break without Chrome - without logging in to Google.
Oh oh. Seems like someone flunked the G interview and being bitter on blind.
I will show you and Google what Ux means when i build my own company
That’s the spirit. Go ahead and build it. When you need funding from VC, they will ask you to build this exact feature.
Maybe use Brave browser or use incognito.

Piece of shit then it is.
This is an overstatement. I would say it's at least an 80,20 split.
