So you and matt are saying very different things here. Fyi, I use Chromium for things like Twitter, so I'm not sure what my daily use would give me insight to.

We’re saying the same thing. If you log into a Google property, Chrome will become logged in — even if you didn’t want Chrome logged in. The only way to avoid this is literally never to enter a Google password into any part of the browser.

Oh! I see! I misunderstood your first tweet to be Chrome required you to log into a google account, the way Android does.

Is this a new behavior or just sufacing an old behavior?

It’s a new behavior AFAIK. It seems to me like they’ve adopted this as a softer version of mandatory login, in the expectation that most Chrome users use Google accounts at least occasionally.

In this case even one Google login, maybe by a friend borrowing your laptop, will leave Chrome indefinitely in a logged in state, I think.

Once you log out of Gmail, the browser logs out.

One of the things I've appreciated about Chrome is that the team limits the special casing that's done for G sites. Often a driving use case, but they keep their eyes on the whole web. This is the first case AFAIK of explicitly handling G differently. Dangerous line to cross.

adrienne, is there a chrome://flags setting that can be used to turn this behavior off?

thanks. unless i'm missing something, this no longer is respected in chrome canary (71). i've set as shown, cleared all data and restarted browser, but as soon as i login to gmail i immediately see that easy/lower friction "sync as patrick" button in chrome://settings.pic.twitter.com/WzitZStRZO
