But I don't think this Chrome release changed anything with regards to that? It's been the case for more than a decade that if you're logged into gmail you're also logged into search, maps, apps, etc. And if you log out of one, you log out of all of them.
Whatever workflow you've been using to keep logged into gmail while avoiding being logged in to the other Google sites would still work exactly the same way. (E.g. I'm always logged into gmail and chrome, but do 99% of my searches and Youtube watching from incognito windows, so they don't get associated with my account).
- mindgam3 8y agoThanks for clarifying. I'm going to step slightly down from my high horse now. So, I just tested and I can still have separate "People" in Chrome browser-level settings, + incognito windows as you mentioned. I guess now I'm confused as to what actually changed then.
- pastununtrium 8y agoThe problem is that even most devs (I’m just gonna assume and pull this assumption outta my ass) don’t have the time or energy to put into such jailed browser windows. I think I used to a bit, but sometimes I’d forget and log into a service in my non google windows, etc. It got to be too much work. There has to be a better way to manage this.
