I don't like this one bit. I was on Youtube and noticed I was logged in. Then when I logged out on a "Video Sharing Site", I was logged out of my "E-Mail Program" that was open in another tab too. I was scared for a second that a public Youtube profile had been made from my gmail-address, so people can view my last log-ins. I also looked, to no avail, at a way to disconnect my personal Gmail-account from Youtube. I will miss the personalization. But for me this too will mean less browsing while logged into Google services. It is not the same scale like Spotify requiring a Facebook account, but it is close enough to make me cringe and worry about my favorite online services.

It should just mean browsing Gmail in a 'Private Mode' Chrome/Firefox window.

  It should just mean browsing Gmail in a 'Private Mode' Chrome/Firefox window. That's a good idea, though still not quite frictionless enough for lazy people like me. It's a bigger issue when I'm just browsing around and click a link that takes me to YouTube. What's needed (as someone else here suggested, more or less) is an add-on smart enough to recognize a set of domains and always follow these links by creating a private mode window.

  I'd really like a way of setting up multiple persistent browser sandboxes in Firefox or Chrome, so I can have separate sets of logged-in accounts associated with each. Browse Facebook and related sites in one window, Google products in another, and use a third for general web-browsing, all persistent across sessions, but without any sandbox knowing what's going on in any other.

  I don't like having multiple browser windows opened though. It just dawned on me that Gmail was the only reason I was not using private mode full time. Now my browser is in private mode from start up. I've just moved to using Empathy and Evolution(ugh) to check mail. I'd be interested in getting a command line version of the two up.
