Comment on Blocking the "Sign in with Google" Prompt (2023)

Comments

The fact this prompt seems to block the first click of input on the actual site usually is indefensible. Not including an easy to find and easy to understand option in Chrome to just disable it outright with a 100% success rate just adds to the evidence that giving Google any power on the internet was a mistake.

You understand that this isn't a browser feature, right?

Chrome isn't creating the login prompts and doesn't have any kind of special support for them. It's just rendering the HTML / running the JavaScript on the page.

Pedantry aside, same company same ecosystem.
