Ricky MondelloIf youโre annoyed by those floaty prompts on websites to sign into them with your Google Account, you can turn them off for your Google account! Link: https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/permissions
Sean Harding@rmondello Wow! I owe you one! I hate those prompts!
George Yang@rmondello Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Stephen Radachy 
@rmondello many thanks!
wakest likes your bugs โ@rmondello oh wow i hate those! thanks!
markgx@rmondello thanks for the tip!
Claire has left the building@rmondello so it knows it is you enough so that it can know not bother you to authenticate for real. can i stop the first thing
Cassandrich@clairely_inexplicable @rmondello privacy.firstparty.isolate=true in Firefox. (Will effectively clear all cookies/state, after that stuff embedded in one site can't see cookies/sessions from where it was the top level site.)
Michael Waaler@clairely_inexplicable
Hah, good point
Hah, good point
Brian Drell@rmondello If only there was a way to coax the Gmail web interface stop trying to get me to install Chromeโฆ
Joรฃo Tiago Rebelo@drell @rmondello maybe investigate spoofing your Internet browser's user-agent.
Iyay@rmondello how do i choose for another account? The autofill is always failed to pick the correct one
skry@iyay @rmondello It Usually, on the very first Google offer to sign you in, it will show the most recent Google account you used. There is a link or button to choose a different one on that small window.
Unfortunately, thatโs not the case for me, thereโs no button to choose a diff account.
@iyay Which website are you having this trouble on?
Marko Pรถlรถnen@rmondello Great tip!
CodeByJeff@rmondello oh, thank you!
D. Creemer@rmondello Thank you!
linkeurena@rmondello thank you for this tip, itโs been bothering me so much
Reid@rmondello if you could use iCloud Keychain on chrome that would be amazing ๐
David Roth@rmondello May all of the deities bless you!
MattLeidholm@rmondello Hiding that option under โApps with Access to Your Accountโ is shady, at best.
@MattLeidholm No disagreement from me.
Jakub Kornatowski@rmondello THIS โ๏ธ
Jacob Marshall@rmondello Thank you! Soooo annoying! I had no idea it was configurable.
R2@rmondello thank you, this was a great Christmas gift!
Elliot@rmondello Iโm calling it - this is the single most useful post of 2022.
Lapo Luchini@rmondello Ohhh, thanks!
Jennifer Moore ๐ทOooh thank you! I didn't know that!
Phil Nash@rmondello Internet tip of the year! Thank you!
Phil Harrison@rmondello Thanks so much for this.
Aegir@rmondello Iโve turned these off but still get them all the time. Itโs very frustrating!
Fritz@rmondello A thousand blessings on you!
sorrykb@rmondello THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Man Bartlett@rmondello @anildash ahhh thank you for this! ๐๐ผ
Jim Remsik@rmondello THANK YOU!
mhoye@rmondello I suspect this doesn't do what we expect it does. I would like to understand how that could actually work, as a per-user preference, if the site can't already identify you as the person expressing that preference?
wiredog@mhoye @rmondello Probably tracking cookies.
@wiredog @rmondello Basically. This only works - it only can work - if the big G already knows you're looking at the site.
Jonatan@rmondello thanks for the tip! Didnโt know about it
Rhode PVD@rmondello Thank you for this - cannot tell you how much those stupid prompts have been annoying me daily.
Kuba Suder@rmondello TBH, what I'm annoyed by is not the fact I see those popups, but the fact that a random site *knows who I am*โฆ a random site is not supposed to know who I am. Turning this off in Google settings doesn't solve that ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Stefan Wrobel ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ@rmondello lol, in Safari on my fully up to date iPhone: โUpgrade to a common and recent browser to modify Security, Language, Data Tools, and account preferences.โ #shade
Applewise@swrobel @rmondello and when signing in to gmail on Apple devices they immediately email to โencourageโ installation of their other apps ๐ก
Catfluoride@rmondello easier yet, not having a Google account.
Buck@rmondello @anildash thank you!! I was endlessly annoyed by that and figured Iโd have to always live with it
Matt Durr@rmondello amazing find!!
Jocelyn ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐๐ (MOVED)@rmondello If you don't like the idea of having to sign in to google just to turn this off (and want it to work in private browsing modes), you can use the uBlock Origin extension with the following filters instead:
accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/$subdocument
smartlock.google.com
JLab8@rmondello but what if you don't stay signed into Google in the browser?
loombot 3000@rmondello thank youuuu
Marc Shapiro@rmondello Amazing, thanks!
caleb@rmondello can also block the script w/ ddg extension now! https://aspiechattr.me/@OpsecNews/109559253730420209

DuckDuckGo now blocks Google sign-in pop-ups on all sites https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/duckduckgo-now-blocks-google-sign-in-pop-ups-on-all-sites/ #Security #Google

Jason ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
@rmondello OMG, thank you!
Bill AdlerThank you! I needed that.
Charles Gillanders@rmondello thank you so much for pointing out how to fix those annoying google sign in prompts.
Jaycie@rmondello Thank you!
KFCSpike@rmondello Nice one - thanks Ricky! ๐
Matt Fischer@rmondello this only works if your browser is signed in to google to begin with. If not there appears to be no solution.
