I’m still annoyed that Chrome has gone to mandatory Google login — exactly the same way Android did (and has received enormous criticism for) — and people at Google are acting like they’re surprised people are upset.

Think of it as adding "yo FYI you're currently logged in to Gmail" in the corner of the browser window. That's what the feature does. It's different from the feature you seem to be talking about which we call sync, that has privacy implications.

that's not what it sounds like in the german locale. when I sign in to gmail, then click on my profile image, I see german text that translates to "Chrome is being synchronized and personalized across all your devices".pic.twitter.com/VJVdNAuhb4

apparently the english version is "Sync and personalise Chrome across your devices", which is more clear that this is an offer instead of a statement about what's currently happening

also: why should Chrome have a gmail login indicator when it doesn't have a facebook/twitter/lwn/netflix/... login indicator in the same place?
