Sync and personalize Chrome across your devices

Reported by t...@scalpel.com, Sep 8

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Log into Gmail 
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Nothing should change in the browser.

What went wrong?
This "feature" was added to the most recent version of Chrome, and there is no way to disable it. I know that you are trying to be helpful, but this is a particularly sleazy move and I want it gone from my browser. Just because I am a customer of a web application, I should not have any special privileges or tracking coupled to my browsing experience.  This is an incredible abuse of power, and should have been stopped in the idea phase.

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 68

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.81  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.13.6
Flash Version:

Sync does not start once you log in to Gmail - so Chrome does not what is claimed in this bug description. We just use your Google account information (account name and image) to present promos to enable sync. Sync will not start until you interact with these promos.

You may see that sync is tuned off if you open chrome://settings (there should be a button there asking you to "Turn on Sync"). Also look at chrome://sync-internals to also see that sync is turned off.
