      Beyond the technical discussion at hand, I do appreciate this perspective Matthew. The single most tiring part of being at Google is that so many people jump _immediately_ from "A decision occurred which I don't like or don't understand" to "Well obviously they're evil now."

      I reserve the right to mistrust Google upper management. But the regular Google employees are generally great people. When it comes to decisions that affect privacy or security, we outsiders can give them leverage with management by having a huge and well-earned freak out.

      If you distrust Google for privacy, don't you use separate profiles for GMail and the rest of web even before this change? This is what I do. In such a mode there is no impact from this change. Signed in and sync status is per profile and it is easy to have separate ones.

      And I'm asking as a general question, not trying to defend any feature or decision, since I'm very curious why folks who distrust Google for privacy use single browser profile.

      Good privacy should be and needs to be the default. Power users and vigilantes have plenty of ways to protect themselves and always will. That’s not the issue. The question is, are we changing defaults for the better or for the worse?

      You nailed it right at the end there: the question is whether we are changing defaults for better or worse. The Chrome team clearly thought they were changing defaults for the better for the vast majority of users, as their answers convey.

      I think the simplest explanation, rather than all the Google developers suddenly decided to become evil, is that this is a really hard Balancing Act and they moved the notch in a good direction for lots of users but unintentionally in an undesired direction for others.

      What do you see as the benefit(s) for the many users? (Honest question)

      Signed in users have higher satisfaction and are less likely to get phished.

      Do you mean signed in to Chrome sync or Google web apps? Was there a problem in signing in before this change? Or in staying signed in?

      There are benefits (to the user, and to Google) to enabling Sync. There was/is user confusion about what being signed into the browser means wrt the content area. This change simplifies that. And yes, it probably increases the odds that the user successfully enables sync.
