Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I upgraded to Safari 13 today. After that, I happened to be trying to add a new Gmail account to my Mail app. The app prompted me to authentiate in Safari. But when I clicked "Open Safari", the only thing happened is... The Safari app opened. But no Google log-in page was opened. If I remember correctly, everything works fine under Safari 12. A Google log-in page will appear and let me log in.
This is the butten I clicked.

Yes it is. Do NOT under any circumstances install Safari 13. It will break all your gmail accounts in Apple's Mail app and there is no official fix to this nasty nasty bug. You'll waste hours and hours trying to figure out what's wrong and it will drive you completely nuts.
The only way to solve this problem is by re-downloading Mojave 10.14.6 and re-installing it on your Mac. By doing this Safari will go back to 12.1.12. You might still have to re-authenticate all your gmail accounts but it will work easily under Safari 12. Just follow the prompts and everything will go back to normal.
Safari 13 is seriously destroying lives right now. Don't come even close to it, I've made that mistake and had to pay with three or four days of my time looking for a fix until I figured out it was the **** browser update that broke all my gmail.
You're welcome.
Same problem here.
This did not work at all after the upgrade. Still cannot authenticate with Safari. Click on that option, and still nothing happens.
Actually it works now, after a computer restart, closing of gmail and Safari, and selecting System Preferences, Internet Accounts, Gmail. Logged in with password, and all worked!
Is Gmail log-in broken under Safari 13?
