On: Using Google without a Google+ profile

[jsprogrammer]

Sounds like a good opportunity for a browser that manages your various identities across multiple sites.

Chrome has had this feature for years. You can create separate Profiles for YouTube, Gmail, etc. I do this with Facebook to minimize exposure to the Like Button virus.

How do you access this feature?

[spinningarrow → jsprogrammer]

The 'People' section in Settings. There's also a button with your profile name on it at the top right in newer versions of Chrome.

Is there any way to stop this automatically picking up who I am when I log into GMail in the browser? I don't want Chromium picking up my identity just because I logged in once.
