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…

Can we block sharing email addresses by default? It seems every time I sign in with Google the site / app starts SPAMming me without my consent. It's pretty much why I don't use it: The SPAM.

And we should also do something about website that consider you a "customer" when you've only started an order and entered your email but you've never pressed submit to complete the order.

That's you/OAuth giving the provider your google account id, which is your @gmail.com email.

You can turn this off 1. https://myaccount.google.com/connections/settings for mobile 2. same link, sidebar help, for Chrome on Desktop settings.

this requires being signed in (obviously), which doesn't help with the limit tracking part of hating these things

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…

I’m super happy Google’s login with my name, appears on PornHub, especially since I’m using a separate browser, Firefox mobile, for this only, never used it for anything else, never logged in. Luckily Firefox mobile gives websites access to something on my phone about my identity. But I’m happy it does this.

Because it exposes how much websites know about us. It’s like Facebook showing face recognition in 2015. It’s creepy but it reminds you constantly how creepy it is.

There's a big upside to Google One Tap. It makes users sign up for your product like crazy.

I recently added it to a SaaS web app I'm working on, and the number of new sign ups went up 8x overnight. You don't necessarily have to create an account to use the minimal functionalty of our app, but after signing up you do get some perks, and we get a way to communicate with the user through email. So I think it can be beneficial for both parties.

It does disrupt the user experience and clobber a site's own home page, but associating a persistent identity to a user is VERY valuable to sites, and normal sign up flows have a lot of friction. They probably figured it's worth the cost if it gets more users to login/create accounts. Its presence despite the drawbacks indicates a lot of people use this feature.

“Sign in with Google” is annoying, but at least you can turn it off with chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi Does anyone know how to switch this off on Safari please, especially Mobile Safari. I’ve noticed these sign-in popups on iOS 18.

A generic way to stop this across all devices would be great. I don't suppose something can be done with DNS via Pi-hole?

You could block account.google.com (or google.com) if you don’t use any google services or expect anyone on your network to use any google services*.

* I think search still works without an account, but I don’t think anything else works that way these days. The last I know was YouTube and I get a “sign in to confirm your age” on YouTube on most videos I try to watch without being logged in.

I find it like to pop up in an incognito Google search. Not all the time. Just when one searches the more questionable things

Of course! That's why I even added this to my uBlock filter list on mobile: accounts.google.com/gsi/client

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
