The first time it happened, I wasn’t sure if it was an accident but it has happened again multiple times since.

I have a google account that I use for YouTube because it has premium and that is useful in my work. It also as a long dead Reddit account associated with it.

Multiple times, on my work computer, when I end up on Reddit from google a question, the top right will find my google account, and AUTOMATICALLY LOG INTO REDDIT. I have logged out multiple times.

These is extremely concerning - the fact that I am logged in with google does not consent me to log into Reddit. I do not want that Reddit account associated with my work.

    You should consider a few things here, because you’re grossly underestimating Google’s power

    I do not want that Reddit account associated with my work.

    If you are logged into Google, and you are on that website, it’s already associated with you, regardless of whether you are signed in or not (along with many other platforms). So many different ways.

    Consider using containerization. In Chromium you can use profiles. In FF you can use container tabs. That goes for any of their forks as well.

      A home and a work profile for chrome, that means a different email for each login.

      Keeps nicely things apart.
