It is all green if you do not need to be logged in.

If you are logged in, the page crashes with an error.

You can still browse all services from Incognito (which for some is not an option).

Are you saying the Google status page is correct then? Being logged in is part of being green I’d think.

Also, you can’t use many parts of Gmail, Drive, Photos, etc, without being logged in.

I think it just means the status page itself is not logged in. Apparently it should be...

Youtube is down for me if I am logged in. I can watch videos through duckduckgo search or an icognito window.

YT seems to be working in Incognito / Private mode.

Ah, thanks!

Kinda weird it would totally break if the auth failed, unlike other services like Search.

> gmail works in incognito mode

I mean, that must be a generous definition of "works"! :)

Google made everyone get an account trying to force Google+ on to everyone. They don't get to pretend like that didn't happen by not factoring it into their status.

the parent comment to mine at time of writing was just:

> It is all green if you do not need to be log in.

Giving the impression if you were logged in/didn't need to log in, that everything would be ok.

I apologize for my ambiguous phrasing, and I feel bad that you were downvoted (I reupvoted you, but that’s only one vote).

I wrote too fast because I thought it could help people work around the problem.

Oh, I see. Looks like their auth (state) servers are down.
