Oh man, this always Madden's me when a company takes away some option in the name of simplifying for the majority of users.

Put it on a screen called advanced options or something, even about:config, and let us decide!

That is, if you're really not just manipulating your users.

I mean, this _is_ on the advanced options screen. It's in chrome://flags/#account-consistency

So it is

But will it be there forever?

Some other post on HN on this topic implied these options tend to vanish over time. (I'm not sure if they so or don't)
