[NJTechDiv] What Happened to Google Chrome?

[Mario Brusco]

Here's how you disable it:

1. Open your Chrome browser then copy and paste this on your address bar:

chrome://flags/#account-consistency

2. Press Enter.

3. Your Chrome browser will now show a page displaying the "Identity 
consistency between browser and cookie jar" setting.

4. On its drop-down box, change its setting to "Disabled."

for us blind users, down arrow to a combo box that might show that it's 
set to the default status. press the spacebar to open it and press the 
end key to choose the disabled status. press the tab key and press 
alt+f4 to close Chrome and relaunch it.


5. Chrome will prompt you to relaunch the browser for the change to take 
effect. Click on the "Relaunch Now" button to restart Chrome for the 
changes to take effect.

Subject: [NJTechDiv] What Happened to Google Chrome?
Hi All,
I just went to use Google Chrome and found I was being prompted to
either sign in or use as a guest. Since I’m Leary of making choices like
this I am wondering if any one else has encountered this. It doesn’t
make sense that I have to sign in to use a web browser.
I hate the frequency these programs seem to keep changing and at least
for me making life more difficult instead of easier!
Thanks for any pointers you can offer.
Eileen
