No idea what icon you are speaking of. I don't use Chrome much and don't log into it when I do. I certainly don't think anyone is going to pay for the privilege.
OMG the lack of understanding of basic ad tracking in this forum baffles me.
Nobody is going to pay. But if google serve an ad for a logged out (or firefox) user, they get paid 0.05c if they serve the same ad to someone logged in (via that button or otherwise) they get paid 1.7usd.
the button is just to make you be always logged in.
You are paying all the time and don't even realize.
