I think for smart phone users, logged in all the time, this policy will synch all Google use. For me, a desktop user, I now understand a trend I've been aware of.<br><br>A while back Google provided a 'multiple sign-in' option, thus linking accounts. And offered to prioritize mail with 'most important' flags. Then Google has been 'improving' it's email interface and now is insisting the new choice be adopted. The sign-out is now in a drop-down, an extra click to log out. And an extra click to log in. This provides a 'home page' with a large spot for advertising, and keeps the non-vigilant user logged in. So I see all this culminating in the new no-privacy policy, log in and get shared, log in and get helped, directed by Nanny Google.<br>
<br>On the other hand, GMail has a spam filter superior to my ISP. <br><br>I'm debating whether to stick with GMail (I do like reading and archiving in the cloud), and have lately been using Firefox instead of Chrome.<br>
<br>I am disenchanted with the changes, associate them with the new management, ... What has been happening has seemed to me like a company high on speed, changing, changing, competing, acting, ... without considering all the consequences.<br>
<br>Maybe this is towards profit. Or position.<br><br>Sylvia<br>
