>The old UX was dangerously misleading for people who share computers, a worryingly common practice. The new UX makes it at least a bit more clear that if you’re browsing on a borrowed computer, you really should be using a discardable Guest profile.(I think Guest Profiles are one of the coolest little-used features in Chrome).
I preferred the old ui of checking "keep me signed in". The whole "just use private/guest/whatever" annoys me.
In any case, this change reinforces that if you don't like google,
then don't use chrome.
>If Extra Evil Google is in your threat model, you shouldn’t be using Chrome at all, because obviously Extra Evil Google could just backdoor Chrome before encryption or after decryption.
If you care about privacy, then of course you'll prefer a browser that is private by default, rather than making you run around in settings.
