Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups

I don’t even have a Google account or gmail and that nasty pop up comes up on all my Apple devices now. Tried all the suggestions above and more to no avail! Surely Safari could protect against this Google intrusion?

I just found this on the Google site and followed the instructions. Hope it works.

How to stop obnoxious google sign in prompts?

1. Go to "My Account" : "Security" ( https://myaccount.google.com/security )
2. Click on "See all connections" link in "Your connections to third party apps & services"
3. Click on the gear at the top of the "Third party apps & services" page.
4. Disable the "Signing in with Google" prompt.

Right. We all have time to contact EVERY WEBSITE. This is what I'm trying to remove. It has NOTHING to do with the individual websites. It is every time. Every website. And I use DuckDuckGo for my search. I'm not even using Google.

Apple needs to make a way to turn off Google pop-ups asking us to sign in on websites!!!

Well I tried all that and still nothing. I am cursed for life it seems. I switched to Duck Duck Go to flee the google update your settings pop up and now this new google junk has taken its place. So freaking irritating.

I am on a MacBook Air and have dealt with this problem for months. Can't promise this will work for everyone but here is what resolved the issue for me.

I went into Safari - Preferences - Search -

My search engine is on DuckDuckGo -

I unclicked "Include Search Engine Suggestions" -

Below the Search Engine, look at "Search Field"

Where it says Enable Quick Website Search there is a box "Manage Websites"

Click on Manage Websites and see if Google is in there

If it is, remove Google

Hope this helps someone, it worked for me

It's not Google who's asking you to sign in. The individual websites have bought a service from Google that allows them to offload the sign up/sign in process.

And in the process allow google to track all of the sites you visit.

Respectfully, has the responder read the thread in full, or tried the instructions posted? I mention because even people with NO google account are graced with Google login panel. Fresh new device that never had a sign in to Google service will hit in the face with the same panel.

Sign in with Apple doesn't obnoxiously pop up a window in a world with already 500 popup windows, some created by regulations which are supposed to somehow... help us?

I would say take the GDPR back and give me back websites without stupid popups about "we use cookies! we use cookies!" ...

It seems like the more time goes by the more we have to deal with on the web that is "for our own good" but really is annoying.

I don't think your question is rhetorical for most. People claim to care about privacy and be all "I am in the know and I know how to stop people from spying on me" and then they have a Google Android phone. The answer is Google is evil, Apple is not. And in this case I won't go deep .. it's just as simple as Google seems to be obsessed with stealing as much data from people as they possibly can, and stalking them worst than the most notorious stalker.

Whilst Apple .. well nothing they do is annoying. It's just the things they DON'T do that are sometimes annoying ;)

I forgot to mention the other change I made was going into the Safari-Websites-Downloads

"allow downloads on websites with setting below"

Click DENY on the Google tab

As I scrolled down, I found Google was in this list more than once, so I had to switch the tab from ASK to DENY on more than one Google tab.

Make sure you find them all!

Good luck!

It is a very frustrating and annoying situation. I did, however, find the solution - an app called Banish - available from the Apple App Store. Been using it for several weeks and, so far, it works flawlessly at blocking these Google pop-ups.

I'm using Firefox and autodelete all cookies - except a few whitelisted - after closing its tab or the browser. The default solution to disable Google Account sign-in prompts in the Google Account settings doesn't work as I'm no longer logged into Google when I close its tab or my browser.

The solution I found for Firefox is using the following string as as custom rule to your adblocker:

||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe/select$subdocument

This should also work for Safari except that the only adblocker I could find that allows custom rules is AdGuard for Safari. After installing AdGuard for Safari I opened the settings, clicked on Filters tab, enabled User rules and clicked on User rules. This enabled me to paste the custom rule and click on Save to enable it.

I tested it by going to Reddit and the "Sign in with Google" pop-up no longer appears. After disabling all AdGuard for Safari extension and reloading Reddit the pop-up came back. After enabling extension in Safari I discovered you only need to enable AdGuard Custom to enable this User rule.

Tested some further and closed AdGuard for Safari (not keeping it active in menu bar) and disabled launch at login and it still works.

unfortunately, this explains how to stop using the sign in. This doesn’t explain how to stop the pop-up. it appears that the answer is, you can’t.

Apple can offer a function that users could enable to disable (Google's) relentless popups.

Safari (and other browsers) offer options to block popups - same principle.

The requests to sign in using Google on other websites are not coming from Google. They are coming from the website you're visiting (one example is redfin.com). Those websites have chosen to use Google's sign on services. It's how they want you to log into their website. Apple can't make them not do that. If you don't like it, don't visit sites that use that service.
