If I ran a website that supported Google-account login, I’d be pretty pissed at how they’re suddenly putting up an obnoxious overlay over my site’s layout.<\/p>

Why is this not bothering more people? Does anyone give a shit about their websites anymore?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

You can<\/em> log in to prevent Google from blocking part of the page content, but then they’ll probably track you more. This has apparently been going on for almost a year now, but for some reason I rarely saw them. Lately, though, the overlays have been getting in my way multiple times per day.<\/p>\n\n

I blocked these universally with my user stylesheet<\/a> in Safari, and you can use a similar rule to mine in an ad blocker. StopTheMadness<\/a> also hides this gross dialog.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I found the switch to disable the google pop-up sign-in prompt here:<\/p>

  1. Go to “My Account” : “Security”<\/li>
  2. Click on “See all connections” link in “Your connections to third party apps & services”<\/li>
  3. Click on the gear at the top of the “Third party apps & services” page<\/li>
  4. Disable the “Signing in with Google” prompt<\/li><\/ol><\/blockquote>\n

    This is surprisingly hard to find, and it didn’t work for me, maybe because I missed one of my accounts.<\/p>\n\n
