I find Keepass and/or Lastpass are better solutions - you can have different logins for different sites, generate truly strong random passwords and login with two clicks in any modern browser. I don't want Google (or God forbid, Facebook) knowing what sites I login to and part of my credentials, and I don't want websites to know my email address. I know you say they don't have this information, but it's not hard to get access to it if they feel they want to. Google Web History already creeps me out :-) I also feel more secure with different passwords (and even emails) on different sites.

> Google Web History already creeps me out :-) You know that you can turn off most of their tracking by doing a privacy checkup? I can't guarantee that they don't know a lot about me and that they're still not tracking me, but I can guarantee you that my Google history is completely blank.

  I did, though I might need to recheck it, since they used the word "paused" instead of "disabled" :-)

  Do you actually believe this accomplishes anything… This data is still in their server logs[1] (and streamed directly to NSA). USE TOR BROWSER FOR BROWSING. DON’T STAY LOGGED INTO GOOGLE. Anything less is just a waste of time. And seriously, Tor in 2015 is fast enough for 1080p h.264, there’s really no excuse.

The problem Facebook Connect solves isn't just logging in to multiple accounts but also signing up with them.
