I haven't used it much if at all in the past year, but I finally took the last step and deleted it! Sorry if this is low effort I just don't have anyone I know to share it with.

Since I've stop using gmail et reduce the need for a gmail account, Google don't force connexion btw my account and the ones of people I share a computer with. I'm done seeing someone else youtube history bc someone forget to log out of its drive account. By gone the times where my contacts would become mixed up with my friend's who checked its emails on my phone. My children profil are not considered my secondary accounts. I am not receiving notification of one Google product telling my I haven't give full permission to another Google profil anymore. I don't feel like I've take time to configurate my account but thé software disant change its behavior.

I'm no longer forced to use a software or a option I don't want because this other software anable it automatically and that it is almost impossible to turn it off once you've start to use it.
