I use GMail and I like to stay logged in, so I can come back and check it once in a while. What I don't like, however, is that Google can track any web searches I do against my Google user ID. They can probably track other sites I visit using Google Analytics, too, which is extremely pervasive nowdays. What's the best way to stay logged into GMail, but effectively not be logged into any other Google site, either in Firefox or Chrome? Any addon or Greasemonkey script that might help here?

This one is kind of a pedestrian response, but it'll do the trick.
Start a new firefox with a different profile. Create a new profile specifically for gmail. Set it as a desktop icon for quick access.
firefox -P nameOfProfile
on a shortcut will do the trick. Create a new profile withfirefox -ProfileWizard
