Chrome 69 links Google services to browser connection

Chrome may be the world's first browser in terms of reach. Although the product is manufactured by Google on an open source basis, not all Google Chrome users would identify themselves as Google users with respect to business services or vice versa. This distinction, however, may soon no longer exist because the latest version of the Chrome web browser allows you to immediately connect to each other if you are connected. And if you are disconnected, you are also connected.

Before version 69, it was possible to use the Chrome web browser without connecting to any Google account for any reason. The user may not want to risk losing his browsing data on Google's servers. This did not prevent them, however, from using the services of Google on this browser if they wished.

This is apparently no longer the case in Chrome v69. If you sign in to a Google service on this browser, Google will automatically connect Chrome to the corresponding Google Account. Conversely, if you've been signed in to Chrome for a long time, and then disconnected from, say, Gmail, you may end up suddenly without the usual browser settings.

Blogger Bálint pointed to this unexpected change and the possibility that it could cause confusion among users. Ironically, Google's supposed reason for this change is that ordinary users are actually confused by the separation of the two accounts. However, Bálint also noted that Google was striving to make Chrome a service with a simple browser, integrated into Google's services.

While we may not have been this far, Chrome users will no doubt be concerned about this change. Google could at least give users a preview of the latest version, just as it made a lot of noise on the other major features of Chrome 69. By keeping the secret for the most part, Google gives detractors more reason to suspect its motivations.
