The first time it happened, I wasn’t sure if it was an accident but it has happened again multiple times since.
I have a google account that I use for YouTube because it has premium and that is useful in my work. It also as a long dead Reddit account associated with it.
Multiple times, on my work computer, when I end up on Reddit from google a question, the top right will find my google account, and AUTOMATICALLY LOG INTO REDDIT. I have logged out multiple times.
These is extremely concerning - the fact that I am logged in with google does not consent me to log into Reddit. I do not want that Reddit account associated with my work.

If you’re on Firefox, take a look at the Containers extension. It helps keeping everything separated
Yep. The “always open in container tab” gets a little fidgety because Reddit uses a whole bunch of different domains (some of which it only flips to for an instant while redirecting elsewhere), so it takes a bit of work, but I’ve been able to successfully silo off Reddit, Xwitter, Meta, etc. into their own distinct containers that are independent of everything else I do.
This is the suggestion i had too
Go here.
Go to the left side where it says Data & Privacy.
Scroll down to Data from apps and services you use
Under that is Third-party apps & services
Scroll down to Reddit
Click Delete all connections you have with Reddit
This is why on the occasion a thread crosses a reddit post it gets opened incognito.
