Worked without an account for me.
- notatoad 14y agoevery single link to G+ this comes up, and every single time the response is the same: If you are signed in to google but not G+, you have to sign in. If you aren't signed in to google, you don't have to sign in.
- monochromatic 14y agoHoly shit, how broken is that? It should come up every time until it changes.
- smegel 14y agoI should have made this clear, but I was using my Android phone, and I don't really get much of a choice. Either way, still sucks. Why cant I read the web without a public profile that includes my real-world first and last names?
- icebraining 14y agoYou can. You just need to sign in to Google again, not G+. Or, you can log out completely.
- smegel 14y agoNot on my Android phone. When I click on the link, I get taken to a page where I am asked to create a Google+ Profile by entering my first and last name. There is no "skip" button or any other way to bypass this screen. If it wasn't clear, I dont want to create a Google Profile, let alone a G+ account. I could try and logout, but this has certain implication on my Android phone I don't want, like possibly disconnecting Sync and Gmail etc. Also, saying "you can, but..." is a weasely way to describe things. I think that having to do anything beyond clicking on a link in order to read a public webpage is an unacceptable barrier.
- gebe 14y agoWow, I didn't know about that. Thanks for sharing.
