Actively having to take extra steps to just log out of any of their services is the biggest little deception. Once they changed their login screen (cannot even remember when) you had to click multiple extra times to remove an account explicitly or you were still tracked/logged in/Google was aware of you. I started deleting history in Fx whenever the browser is closed which helps with this but I have windows/tabs open for weeks for a reason and can't always close the browser. I've just some to accept the extra steps it takes to actually logout though it pisses me off slightly each time I do it.

I've taken no steps to confirm they are actively getting info from my browser if I don't remove my account or if they are not if I do because I have turned off as much account data tracking/opted out of as much as I could for my Google account. But logging out of YouTube, which gives you no indication that you are actively logged in in the active browser window, and then going to mail.google.com will show you that Google is still aware of your account. Bullshit.
