@__apf__ is being slightly disingenuous when she says "Not much ... like a Gmail login state indicator." Google logins are used across the web by a lot of sites. For instance here's what happens when you visit an Indian financial paper, the Economic Times, using Chrome 69: https://imgur.com/a/nFvxI0U https://imgur.com/a/nFvxI0U (some personal info has been blurred out). I almost never visit the Economic Times, and I certainly never log in, but now it gets a chance to log me in using my 'real' identity, and there's even a popup to nudge me in that direction. Any site that implements Google Logins can do this, as far as I can tell. I'm pretty sure most people who chose to enable browser sync in Chrome didn't opt for this. I think the Chrome team really screwed up on this by not considering how Google IDs are used across the web. And for what? The rather marginal scenario of eliminating confusion in shared-browser situations? Or they knew the full implications and did it anyway, which is even more disturbing.
