I never really cared for Google's search engine. I use it rarely, when Yahoo may not find what I am looking for. I like how Yahoo alerts you to potentially harmful sites.
You don't necessarily have to use your Gmail login with YouTube. I was using my Yahoo address for a while. I had created a Gmail address to play around with it (briefly had it as my main address on here, too). I saw something on the side of the YT page about seeing if anyone in your address book was on YT. I clicked it and became suckered into keeping that Gmail address because it was now linked with my YT page. I didn't really like that, but went with it. I then switched a lot of stuff over from my Yahoo address to that Gmail address because I don't want more than one webmail address. I found out that you can unlink your YT account with your Gmail account. I have since deleted my Gmail address and went back to Yahoo. I didn't realize how much I prefer Yahoo until I started using Google and Gmail fulltime for about a month! If I remember right you can unlink your YT and Gmail account by mousing over your username and clicking Account. Click Manage Account at the bottom on the left side of the page. Under the Authorized Sites section you should be able to unlink your account. I stumbled across that while messing around. Then, on the left side again, there will be an Email Options link. If you click that you can choose an address for notifications and such.

That was a good video. I am trying to disassociate myself with anything Google. However, I may not be able to with YouTube. lol I've got a lot of favorited videos and subscriptions. I still have Chrome, but am not using it right now. I may end up removing it, I don't know yet.
