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\u2019ll 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 \u2014 yet. See further below.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>\u2026after I tweeted about my concerns, I received a DM on Sunday from two different Chrome developers, each telling me the good news: Google is updating their privacy policy to reflect the new operation of Chrome. I think that\u2019s, um, good news. But I also can\u2019t help but note that updating a privacy policy on a weekend is an awful lot of trouble to go to for a change that\u2026 apparently doesn\u2019t even solve a problem for signed-out users.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This behavior is wrong but what do you expect from the 2nd largest advertising company in the world? The update to their privacy policy that basically no one reads is not an acceptable response.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Why I\u2019m done with Chrome \u2013 A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering: A few weeks ago Google shipped&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-09-24T12:55:01Z","apple_news_api_id":"a9585785-6d35-4ae1-9ae5-19b8b7d4d56c","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-09-24T12:55:05Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AqVhXhW01SuGa5Rm4t9TVbA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7587","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Yn","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2553,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/06\/13\/google-adds-copy-and-paste-picture-insertion-to-gmail\/","url_meta":{"origin":7587,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 &#8220;Google Adds Copy-and-Paste Picture Insertion to Gmail&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 13, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Gmail Blog: Now, when you\u2019re running the latest version of\u00a0Google Chrome, you can paste images right from your clipboard too.
