    The new google email log in page has me wondering.

    When I first saw the new google email log in page my thoughts were; that looks better, and then I wondered what kind of malware was included within the page. I wonder if anyone is ever going to investigate that?

    Install Ghostery, or any of several such add-ons, and you'll see everything on the page. What makes you think there is malware on the login page?

    Just put on your tin foil hat and unplug your PC before logging in...

    Seriously though if you're worried about privacy in that way, don't use google/gmail.

    All I can say is that Ghostery shows no trackers on Google pages, including Google+ and GMail. It shows them on most other webpages, including Google Adsense and Google Analytics. I've seen nothing to indicate that there are trackers or any other malware on any Google sites. If you really don't trust them, then don't use them. IMO you're safer there than on most other search engines, except perhaps DuckDuckGo, but you don't have to take my word for it.
