Isn't this an unsurprising, logical consequence of "signing into google"=="signing into chrome"? If you're still signed into Chrome you're going to get those cookies recreated by Chrome immediately.
Has anyone tested this behavior if you aren't signed in, or have disabled the google/chrome login equivalence?
- Brakenshire 8y agoYes, seems like it’s pretty much a technical restatement of how "signing into google"=="signing into chrome" works. It is interesting to see it in this light, however. It’s easier to justify through UI (“It’s just one Google service logging in to another”) than it is when you look at it in a technical or historical light, of what being a browser used to mean.
- philipodonnell 8y agoPretty clever. Sign into Google services on chrome, get Google cookies and get signed into chrome as a convenience. Clear cookies on chrome doesn't sign out of chrome. Signed into chrome and no cookies means you get Google cookies restored as a convenience. Everyone here is blaming marketing but somebody pretty technical came up with that.
- lotu 8y agoSo this means if you want to clear all your cookies you have to sign out of Google? I really don't see what the big deal is it looks like the button is pretty darn clear about what it does and does not do, perhaps they could include a link to sign out of google as well?
