How to stop the “login with Google” pop up window?

[musicale]

I also really want this for 99% of sites I visit:

    [√] Disable third-party login
    [√] No, I really don't want to "login with Google"
    [√] No, I don't want to subscribe to your newsletter
    [√] and I don't want to join your Discord server

Edit: apparently Google believes that I'm lying about my preferences for web browsing. Who'd have thought? ;-)

It’s funny how google and other sites just can’t imagine a world where people don’t want their crap.

I’ve been in product design meetings where it seems product managers earnestly say “it’s better for users, so we’ll just prompt them until they realize it’s a good idea.” It was odd to have a conversation where they couldn’t contemplate user wishes contrary to their own.

Use the annoyances lists in uBlock and it solves most of this

[OJFord]

Of course, it would actually be:

    [X] Tick to confirm that No, you want not to be unsubscribed from the newsletter

Or worse!

[sogen]

If you are using Safari, the extensions

- Hush,

And

- Stop the Madness

Will solve about 90% of these annoyances

[malfist]

You forgot

[√] No I don't want to share my location

[√] No I don't want to get notifications

[absqueued]

I think showing these options + login (with Goo...) would have been such a good use case if I, as a user visited the login or sign up page.

and just give me 1. minimal or necessary or 2. all cookies for whatever.

It's been infuriating how fast this has been taking off. Pretty much every major website has it enabled now.

First we had pop-ups driving us crazy for years, and we beat them down with pop-up blockers. Now we've got modal after modal overlaying each other and blocking out the content more than any popups ever did... and we can't get rid of them (other than separately, each and every one targeted via ublock/etc) because the companies controlling the browsers want to use them to harass us too.

> because the companies controlling the browsers want to use them to harass us too.

We can be more specific than that: Google wants to harass their users too. Between Safari, Firefox, Brave, and Arc, I’m not seeing that anywhere else.

You subscribe to lists and let the developers of those lists worry about finding out what has to be blocked.

I've blocked it by adding the following to my custom filter list in uBlock:

|https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select*

[pinewurst]

"I have the same question (113)"

[johanbcn]

"This question is locked and replying has been disabled."

[jdjdjdhhd]

132

[sdfghswe]

Remember when Google penalized pages with pop-ups?

[joobus]

I have these 2 custom filters in Brave, and haven't seen this popup since:

##iframe[src^="https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select"]

||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select^$third-party

[j1elo]

The other top-level comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37041492) linked superuser answer mentions a similar single line for uBlock Origin:

  accounts.google.com/gsi/$3p

Any substantial difference between the suggested two, and this one?

[ruined]

nice! but you should code-format that by indenting it, otherwise hn truncates the uri in some views

[jokoon]

I really need to stop using gmail as my main email.

[poyu]

That won’t really solve this problem, the problem is due to these websites uses Sign In with Google, so it’s out of your control. However if you’re just looking to de-Google in general, I’d recommend Fastmail for email provider. It’s surprisingly cheap for the value it offers.

I never ever sign in with google. I don’t trust a pop up asking me to input one of my most important passwords and logins. Maybe there is a way to make sure I am not being duped but I just don’t like it.

[flynniec6]

I'll just add that every single time it appears, I'm reminded Google actively wants to take and own every single part of my life. Instead of a handy convenience thing like they intend, I just hate the brand more and more. `googleHate++` every time I see it.

[keikobadthebad]

If you install Noscript browser extension, the cursed login window doesn't survive disabling scripts from google.com.

[ted6767]

I went to the article and clicked "I have the same question" and it tried to get me to login to Google.

[D-Coder]

At least if you click "I have the same question" on the support page, the counter increments.

[Rexxar]

But if you click it a second time, it decrements.

[king_magic]

Once again Google shows how deeply irresponsible and straight hostile they are to their customers. First AMP, now this insanity.

Google employees should be ashamed of this garbage.

[kotaKat]

"If this was a human doing this to you every time you went to accomplish a task, at what point would you consider it assault past harassment?"

Google needs to really think like this. It really feels like assault at this point to be constantly pushed and forced to "log in with Google" when I don't want to.

[minipark]

I just found this Google settings page by accident: https://myaccount.google.com/connections/settings

It has just one switch: "Allow Google to display a sign-in prompt where it’s supported by third-party apps and services"

Could that be it?

From a GitHub post:

    Click the puzzle piece icon (Extensions).

    Click uBlock Origin (Open extension).

    Click the gears icon (Open the dashboard).

    Click the My filters tab.

    Insert the following line:

    ||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p

    Click Apply changes.

    Enjoy a world without passive-aggressive sign-in prompts.

Note: You may need to install uBlock Origin, if you haven't already done so.

[poyu]

People are suggesting ublock and other browser extension based blocks, I just wish there’s a DNS level block that won’t have unintended consequences. Mainly because of iOS devices. In one of the article that a commenter posted, it suggests blocking “smartlock.google.com”, I’ll try it for a while and see how broken things are.

uMatrix & uBlock Origin

https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-work-in-hardc...

Deselect everything except 1st-party CSS, image, and media.

No ad or popup in years.

[extraduder_ire]

This is especially annoying on mobile twitter, since it takes about two seconds to load, and the blue sign-in button is exactly over where the "necessary cookies only" button is.

I've hit it accidentally a few times now.
