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…
> ... example of Google advantaging ... Way to bury the lead. Anyway, what's the advantage? Please elaborate.
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.
Almost every site actually does unsubscribe, and those that don't get marked as junk.
But there's a bigger issue with the modern web. Here's my message to any web developer, company, organization, anyone who has control over content on the public web: if I visit your page and I have to click away something in order to do what I came to do, you have failed miserably.

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 ben…
Perplexity has a "sign in with Google" pop up that loads late, often when I've already started typing in my query, and thus blocks the rest of my typing, negatively affecting the UX of the service. So I looked up how to get the fuck rid of it and added that method to uBlock Origin, and now I'm a happy (freeloading) chappy.

Ah yes, because who doesn’t want more emails from a sites they’ve visited one time
Maybe I'm missing some security detail here
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Kinda related to this: I _really_ wish that SSO providers would be better about telling me when my account was already used to log into a service. When I hit "sign in with Google", see my 4 accounts, and have to guess which one I used to sign into the service... Maybe I'm missing some security detail here
