Ask HN: Allow Chrome sign-in option – does it work for anyone?

In Chrome 69 Google introduced a change that logs users into Chrome browser when they login to any Google service, such as Gmail. This created a huge backlash on HN and other forums. Google responded to this backlash by promising to include an opt-out option. The current version of Chrome does include this opt-out option. However, does it work? I turned off the "Allow sign-in option" and signed into Gmail, and Chrome signed me into the browser anyway.
