Help. Chrome is automatically signing me in to websites.

    Something bizarre has started happening on Chrome on my Android phone.

    A few weeks ago I deactivated my Instagram and Twitter accounts.

    Today, I suddenly noticed they had both been signed back in to, and I had no idea why.

    So I started to deactivate them again. I deactivated my Twitter account. It then took me to the "You have successfully deactivated your account" page. And then instantly and automatically at the bottom of my screen I see "Signing in as [my twitter email addesss here]" and next thing I know I'm back in my account! This all happens within seconds of me clicking the Deactivate button.

    So, obviously Chrome had somehow for some reason signed me back in to my Instagram and Twitter accounts without me doing anything and without me knowing.

    I tried again, and same thing happened again.

    My browser has never done this before now, ever.

    I tried to google an explanation but all I could find were articles about Google getting into trouble last year for adding an automatic sign in features to Google branded websites like Gmail and YouTube.

    Anyone any idea what's going on??

    (To clarify, this is happening via the chrome browser, not with the twitter or Instagram apps, which I don't have installed.)
