How to Erase a Google Account From Google Chrome
With over 68% of computers running Google Chrome as their main browser Chrome is the undisputed leader among web browsers. Given those stats, there's a good chance you too are using Google Chrome on at least one of your devices.
Google Chrome controls 53% of the market in North America, 81% in South America, 60.75% in Europe, 62% in Africa, and 68% in Asia, according to stats. But Google was a big name long before it even launched Chrome. Chrome improved the already popular Google search engine and made it far more prominent in the web market. Even though Google has launched many new products after that, and some of them went on to do big business themselves, none of them have ever matched the popularity of Chrome.
According to statistics, over 2 billion people use Google Chrome. Out of those 2 billion 1 billion are active users. With so many users, it's only natural that Chrome is an attractive target for hackers and bad actors. According to the Google Blog, Chrome protects its users from more than 250 million malicious websites every single month.

Chrome lets you switch one account for another whenever you wish. The browser also allows you to disconnect your accounts, essentially erasing all of that account's personal information from Chrome.
