    Doesn't using Gmail while in Chrome mean I'm signed in for Chrome, as well, and doesn't that mean I cannot have two sign-ins?
    Community Answer
    No. Chrome generally prompts you to sign in. If you ignore the prompt, it will not affect signing in and out of Gmail.

      • In Windows, you can generally only make Windows email like Hotmail the default. You can make Gmail the default only with this extension.
