From now on, every time you log into a Google property (for example, Gmail), Chrome will automatically sign the browser into your Google account for you. It’ll do this without asking, or even explicitly notifying you. (However, and this is important: Google developers claim this will not actually start synchronizing your data to Google — yet. See further below.)"

7 I use the Google features, with many Google accounts including ones I have no control of like work accounts. I have many Chrome profiles to avoid the confusion that Google is trying to solve with this feature. I wish they would solve it in a better way like allowing multiple user accounts open in one session complete with multi-account Gmail and others. I can understand that other users may not ever figure out to create separate profiles.

9 I can understand not wanting this feature but unfortunately Google does not believe in options when it comes to Chrome. They are always removing or obscuring them. They seem to have a feeling that if there are options (more than one good default setting), something is wrong.
