If you have an icon to log off, then it should log you off. Period. Am I correct? End of rant.
You are correct! To add to the rant, I hate it when you click play on a YouTube video and an advertisement comes up with a button that says click here to skip the add, but you click the button multiple times and the the add won’t go away until it’s over, making you wait to watch the video. Also, I hate it when you click a link to go to a web page and then when you want to go back to the original page that contained the link you hit the back button on the web browser but it won’t go back and instead redirects you to some advertisement you don’t want to see.
