How to stop the “login with Google” pop up window?
- amelius 3y agoHow to stop it: don't use Google services.
- king_magic 3y agoOnce 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.
- pinewurst 3y ago"I have the same question (113)"
- johanbcn 3y ago"This question is locked and replying has been disabled."
- JohnFen 3y agoIt's the most Googly way of saying "You can't. Fuck off" that I've seen yet.
- cobertos 3y agoThis is just normal for Google support. The Google My Business help section is a similar graveyard with people wailing for help but not a single actual Google employee there to be of assistance. That is, unless your thread gets some insane amount of traction but also at risk of being locked
- CameronNemo 3y agoCan anyone at the company respond? Or is it some special support staff?
- tatersolid 3y agoThere’s no support staff at Google, much less special support staff.
- cobertos 3y agoNo, no one will. Phone support does not exist except for certain services like Ads. Even then, Ads has a recording that says get lost if you're not calling about ads. You can find random employees on LinkedIn and email them and they'll respond but it won't go anywhere.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoGoogle has support staff for every product, and they are available via chat or phone. The waits are only a couple of minutes. All you need to do is subscribe to Google One for a nominal annual fee. I've found it pays off easily, and I'll be renewing again.
- cobertos 3y agoEven for GMB? Because I will gladly pay money to talk to a human the next time I get banned for the vaguest reason and all appeals fail with no additional information

- sen 3y agoIt'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.
- SllX 3y ago> 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.
- omoikane 3y agoActually I only see this with Firefox and not Chrome, probably because I disabled "Allow Chrome sign-in" in Chrome. I am not sure if there is a similar option for Firefox without resorting to addons.
- lwansbrough 3y agoI’m sure it isn’t, but it feels like it should be illegal to create public nuisance and then use your monopolistic power to hide that nuisance from the portion of the public you have control of.
- SllX 3y agoI’m sure Google displays those prompts in every browser. What I responded to was this though: > because the companies controlling the browsers want to use them to harass us too. The way I read that is the companies controlling the browsers want to use them to harass us on their domains inside their browsers, so the equivalent would Apple doing something equivalent in Safari or Mozilla doing something equivalent in Firefox. Google does this though, I’m unsure about others but inside the browsers I listed I’m not seeing the equivalent behavior, and in those browsers, Google is just another domain, not the browser vendor per se. Though I should correct myself on this front since I’m here: Arc required an account for me to use it and I just plain forgot. They’re very upfront about this during setup though, so I wouldn’t call that harassment, and I don’t know if they still do for the final release.

- 14 3y agoI 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.
- D-Coder 3y agoAt least if you click "I have the same question" on the support page, the counter increments.
- Rexxar 3y agoBut if you click it a second time, it decrements.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoIf you click it 501 times, a sheep explodes!
- aio2 3y agoWhat happens if you click it 1002 times, then? Does another sheep explode?
- joobus 3y agoI have these 2 custom filters in Brave, and haven't seen this popup since: ##iframe[src^="https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select"] ||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select^$third-party
- ruined 3y agonice! but you should code-format that by indenting it, otherwise hn truncates the uri in some views
- j1elo 3y agoThe other top-level comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37041492 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?
- joobus 3y agoI worked these out a while ago. I think on some sites, an iframe will still show, but will be empty. My second rule and this one probably do the same thing.
- jokoon 3y agoI really need to stop using gmail as my main email.
- poyu 3y agoThat 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.
- happymellon 3y agoSecond recommendation Fastmail here. And DavX5 because I don't want my calendar to be a tab in email.
- sdfghswe 3y agoRemember when Google penalized pages with pop-ups?
- 38 3y agoI use this to block it: ###credential_picker_container
- duringmath 3y agoLogin with Google.
- trafficante 3y agoSemi-hijack with a tangential question: Has anyone put together a resource - or better yet, an automated service - for migrating away from Google (Gmail in particular)? I’m curious if anyone else here can anecdotally confirm, but in the past 6-12 months a huge majority of the “normies” I originally setup with Gmail accounts (way back when they first came out with 2gb of storage) have been contacting me saying they’re getting dire warnings about storage space resulting in them not being able to send/receive emails “soon” unless they start paying Google. The timing coincides roughly with the crackdown on edu storage space fwiw. It’s already difficult enough for a tech-savvy person to seamlessly switch emails, but for the avg Boomer getting literal hundreds of spam emails per day I don’t even know how to tell them to begin. I spent a good hour at my parents’ house at least trying to cut down on the spam/newsletter subscriptions and mass deleted tens of thousands of emails - but within a month the “pay up” warning returned.
- sgjohnson 3y ago> Has anyone put together a resource - or better yet, an automated service - for migrating away from Google (Gmail in particular)? 1. Set up a new mailserver/register an email somewhere else; 2. Google Takeout your existing data; 3. Redirect all your incoming mail from GMail to your new email address; 4. Change over the email address of all services you use.
- dmckeon 3y agoFYI, GMail will not forward mail messages sent by Gmail - security alerts, "you logged in from a new device", those dire warnings, and possibly any warning that they are about to delete your address, or turn off forwarding. Caveat usor.
- WorldMaker 3y agoGMail will let you set "backup emails" for those security alerts, however. Setting up new accounts today it will even sometimes require backup email addresses.

- musicale 3y agoBlack-holing all Google IP addresses might work.
- musicale 3y agoGuess HN didn't like this idea. But I was inspired after installing a firewall recently. ;-) Otherwise DNS proxy or simple /etc/hosts might work I imagine.
- musicale 3y agoI 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? ;-)
- malfist 3y agoYou forgot [√] No I don't want to share my location [√] No I don't want to get notifications
- poyu 3y agoThese settings exists in the browser already
- musicale 3y agoI dream someday of finding a browser with a "never autoplay video" setting that actually works. (Note: brave might work - I haven't tested it enough though.)
- PoignardAzur 3y agoFirefox at least stops the video from playing if it has sounds. That's so much better than the alternative.
- sogen 3y agoIf you are using Safari, the extensions - Hush, And - Stop the Madness Will solve about 90% of these annoyances
- mmh0000 3y agoI love HN. I keep learning about these obscure addons that are mandatory. I'll add to the list! AdGuard [1] Hush [2] If you use Reddit: Sink It for Reddit [3] [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adguard-adblock-privacy/id1047223162 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adguard-adblock-privacy/id1047...

- poyu 3y agoPeople 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.
- anonymouscaller 3y agoI've blocked it by adding the following to my custom filter list in uBlock: |https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select*
- rd11235 3y agoI’m surprised no one has mention AdGuard. In settings, blocking “Annoyances” is off by default. By toggling it to true, the Google login banner will be blocked, along with the “Chrome is the best!!11” banner and others.
- predictabl3 3y agoBecause uBlock Origin is better. Wait, purchase a license for AdGuard? Pfffffft. ... this website, I can't comment more than twice in a hour. And fuck me for continuing to come back, time after time. If only there wasn't simultaneously such a circlejerk about how supposedly great the moderation is.
- ted6767 3y agoI went to the article and clicked "I have the same question" and it tried to get me to login to Google.
- flynniec6 3y agoI'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.
- kotaKat 3y ago"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.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoThis 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.

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.
- minipark 3y agoI just found this Google settings page by accident: https://myaccount.google.com/connections/settings 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?
