Don't like Chrome's new sign-in experience? Do this!

Quote:Google made a fundamental change to the sign-in experience in the Google Chrome web browser with the release of Chrome 69 to the Stable channel.
Basically, what Google did was link Google accounts on the Internet with the Google account in Chrome which essentially means that if you sign-out of your Google account on the Web, say on Gmail or Google Plus, you also sign-out of your Google Account in Chrome. Sign-ins are affected as well by the change; if you sign-in to your Google account in Chrome, you are automatically signed in to all Google services on the Web even if you have no intention of using them.
We talked about the change in great length here on Ghacks Technology News, and that you can flip a switch on chrome://flags currently to remove the link between Google Accounts on the Web and Chrome. Experimental flags can be removed at any time though and Google is not known as a company that reverts decisions that it has made unless it receives lots of negative press from the mainstream press about it.
Some Chrome users may like the new functionality as it makes it easier for them to sign in or out of Chrome and Google on the Web. Others may dislike it for privacy and user-choice reasons. Think about it, if you sign in to Chrome you are automatically recognized by any Google property on the web as that Google user.
