I've found that recently when I visit YoutubeYouTube, I am automatically logged in with my Google/Gmail. Account. I don't like this at all. I do not want my video browsing history tied up with my Google account.

I've disabled third-party cookies in Firefox, but this still happens.

  1. Log into Gmail.com
  2. Visit YouTube.com. Shows my username as my Gmail screen name
  3. Logout on Youtube.com
  4. Go back to Gmail, logged out there also.

How can I adjust my Firefox settings to avoid this?

How does YouTube know my Google identity without my explicitly connecting?
