Let’s see together how to remove a Google account from Chrome. Google Chrome works best with a Google account. With this, you can enable Chrome Sync to sync your browsing data across all devices and enjoy seamless access to a range of Google services (Gmail, Docs, Calendar, etc.).

But if you no longer intend to use your Google account with Chrome on a particular device. It’s best to remove that account from Chrome and prevent it from syncing (or overwriting) your data.
