How do you get ublock to work in chrome after the update? I tried a fix I found here but it resets every time I restart the browser
> How do you get ublock to work in chrome after the update? Why does anyone keep using Chrome if they care the slightest about privacy? You're using a browser owned by a company that sells online ads. What do you expect?
This popup should be criminal. Ive misclicked the signin button multiple times, causing PII to be sent to a third party I dont trust without my authorization.

Besides, email is usually enough to cross reverence with other benign data troves. But there is no way any reseller could possibly profit from that.
Really no reason to be overly paranoid about.

…until the user loses access to their Google account with no recourse and you have no secondary way to authenticate them.
Also true if I use my gmail address. I'll confess that for many websites I don't care that much. Depending on a password manager would be better, though. Semi-related anecdote: I lost my Reddit account to a cryptocurrency spammer due to a weak password and had to create another, so I lost my preferred username. Annoying but not a huge deal. (Reddit did freeze the old account but wouldn't give it back.)
You can turn this off 1. https://myaccount.google.com/connections/settings for mobile 2. same link, sidebar help, for Chrome on Desktop settings.
Does nobody find this intrusive when it appears on sites like pornhub? Of all places where I'd sign in with a Google account... holy heck, I was very surprised they chose to let Google do that nearly-fullscreen popup on their site upon every visit (since you visit in private tab, it's a fresh session every time) Even on reddit it annoys the heck out of me and I was very surprised they let this third party ruin the ex…
Of course! That's why I even added this to my uBlock filter list on mobile: accounts.google.com/gsi/client

FWIW, these uBlock Origin rules solve the ploblem: ||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe ##iframe[src^="http://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe"] ##iframe[src^="https://accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe"] ##iframe[src^="//accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe"] ###credential_picker_container source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/78429389 . Last rule is from me since popup was invisible but still blocked the content underneath.
The Chrome experience is actually part of a new standard, Federated Credential Management (or FedCM for short). The idea is to create a browser mediated login experience that gives the identity provider and web app what they need without being able to correlate requests across the Internet. I am working on an article on this topic. If you are interested in learning more, here's a video from a recent auth focused conf…
If it's a new standard, it must have… some kind of cross-industry support right? I ask because it looks like https://github.com/w3c-fedid/FedCM/graphs/contributors is mostly people who work at Google (I gave up once I hit people with ten or fewer commits)…

> This is not true of any web browser because of fingerprinting. Some browsers, like the one you should be using, have anti-fingerprinting tech in them.
Anti fingerprinting is nice but if you get served ads based on your IP address you're going to need more than just a browser to escape tracking based advertising. Adblockers aren't good enough when websites you visit use first-party servers to forward data back to ad networks.

Good information, but you can already turn this off via the (quite hidden, I admit) setting that is mentioned in the article. That's a better way to turn this off completely, rather than patch it via a visual rule.
