Maybe, but google will create a modal that will overlay the website to notify me I can login to this website using google even though I am not even trying to login. Given that it is the same modal across very different websites, it has to be google being obnoxious.
- jackson1442 4y agoThat's something developers explicitly enable, probably because it increases conversion. It's bundled with the Sign in with Google SDK but defaults to off.
- cassepipe 4y agoMaybe used to be off by default? It started popping up on a third of the pages I visit recently. Don't they know that everyone hates or are annoyed by pop up?
- Symbiote 4y agoI started using Container Tabs on Firefox to isolate my Google account from everything else because of this. I found it fucking creepy that random websites would say "Hi Symbiote, log in with Google" with my real name.
- jackson1442 4y agoThe "off by default" applies to developers, I worked with this API about a month and a half ago. If you press the "X" button (_not_ just click off the popup) it will use an exponential backoff on your device.
