How can I stop Google from automatically logging me into all services?
Asked by

I'm facing a frustrating issue where every time I open tabs for Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Search, Google automatically logs me into all of them. It used to be that I could be logged into Gmail and Google Docs while staying logged out of Google Search, but now it seems impossible. Whenever I log out of one service, it kicks me out of all of them too. Is there any way to fix this?

You might want to try using incognito mode to browse without getting automatically logged in. Alternatively, creating a new browser profile could help. This way, you keep your main profile logged in for Gmail and Docs while using the new profile for Google Searches without being logged in. It keeps everything separate and manageable.

What you're experiencing is due to how your browser's profile handles Google logins. When you're logged into one Google service in that profile, it keeps you logged in across all of them. The trick is to use either an incognito window, which won’t hold those logins after you close it, or create a separate browser profile just for Google searches where you don't log in at all.
