#2Like Eric Law[1], I felt like while there were some rough spots in the UX for the Chrome login and sync features, the issue was very overblown (I'd feel very differently if sync had been enabled automatically). I don't have much more to say than Law does --- except maybe that when your arch-competitor is speaking out on your behalf, maybe the narrative has gone a little haywire.
I figured Google would do something cosmetic (again, that's all that I think they really needed to do) to clear up the misconceptions here, but they've added a Matthew Green switch (which is what we all need to call it from now on). That's better than I'd hoped for.

Thomas, could you please explain the reference to arch-competitor - I might have missed any reactions by Mozilla/MSFT(?).
Thanks!

Eric Law works for Microsoft on Edge

#5That switch strikes me as the perfect compromise - the default remains the automatic log in behaviour and those who don't want it have an out. If I were putting the automatic sign-in feature together I'd have considered this from the outset, but the Chrome devs have always had a preference for minimal UI. Usually this works in their favour, in this case it did not.

This is what it looks like when product/eng inside google encounter a serious trust deficit.

#8This is probably the most important change:
> We’re also going to change the way we handle the clearing of auth cookies. In the current version of Chrome, we keep the Google auth cookies to allow you to stay signed in after cookies are cleared. We will change this behavior that so all cookies are deleted and you will be signed out.

#9I have no doubt this is a direct result of the feedback in the hacker news thread. Googlers read our comments and take them seriously when there is true merit. Keep making noise folks, it matters.

One nasty change was that clearing all cookies no longer cleared Google cookies with these changes. That is a big, privacy-impacting change.
