Gmail is reminded us about popout windows back in March (when reading an email, chatting in Gmail, composing a message, replying , and forwarding email),  adding that they had sped up page loading on email popout windows. They also mentioned that when you log out of your main Gmail window, that your popout windows also “expire”, or are logged out.

Today’s post Long lived new windows points out that Chrome users can now forget that last detail, and when they have logged out of the main Gmail window, their popout windows continue to be logged in.
