If you are like me then you value more and more your online security. In this world of ever increasing connectivity of the online world with many social networks wanting to integrate with each other and other third party websites it is easy to get swept up in just going along. Especially when Third party web sites give you the option of signing in with your social network user name and password. I for one prefer to keep most of my online endeavors separate from each other. I especially try to keep my social networking accounts set apart from any of my other online dealings because I feel that too much of our personal information is already out on the internet and doing so makes identity theft less likely and more compacted.
Ok. So that being said, I did not appreciate installing Google Chrome browser and finding that my Google email account was connected to the browser itself. I can understand Google wanting to provide the user with a unique way to personalize the browser. However I do find this feature a bit intrusive considering how well reaching Google has become as they have their irons in many different fires. To my knowledge this feature was activated automatically and there was not an option to just "sign out" of the account as in most cases.
Below is an image of how the browser window appears: (Click on the images to make them larger)
Let's get started.
1. Left click on the "menu button" to the right of the address bar.
2. Left click "Settings" on the drop down window.
3. Click the "Disconnect your Google Account.." button under Sign in settings.
4. Left click "Switch person".
6. Left click the red "Remove this person" button.
7. Left click "No thanks"
Now you should be able to browse freely without worrying about your account being connected to your browsing history.
