Yet another attempt by #Google to "encourage" you to always stay logged in, within your browser, to make tracking and identifying you easy and painless for them.
Disguised as "convenience": when you sign up for newsletters, or give a website an #email address, you should no longer check your email for a verification link and click it. Instead, your browser will talk to your email provider, to clarify things.
A "convenience" it can only achieve when you're constantly logged into your Google (or alternative email provider) account.
Don't be mislead here. And don't be a happy-clapping instrumental ally, applauding this "feature".
