Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups

The fruition everyone is discussing is not about multiple companies having their own sign-in options. It is the fact that Google (yes, likely through a free powerful easy to install ALI) forced a disruptive panel when the page loads. That is what we all want to stop.

And neither you nor Apple can stop it. Only the site developer can opt out by not using the Google API. But it’s likely that Google pays them for implementing the API, so for the business that runs the site it’s a no-brainer.

So? Go ahead and stop it. What's preventing you from doing that?

No, Google is NOT forcing it. The websites are asking (not forcing) you to log into their sites using Google's log in API. I'm not sure why that's so hard to understand.

I get it all the time with Redfin. I just close the pop up and move on with looking at houses I'm not going to buy.

Actually, Apple could easily fix this; all they would need to do is have an ad blocker as a standard in Safari with custom filtering. They acquire all these other companies, why not an ad blocker company...

Except it's not an ad. It's the log in window for the website you're visiting.

Very true. I left Android and use Duck Duck Go as much as possible. When I used Android things that I had talked about during the day would mysteriously wind up in my Google or YouTube feed without me looking them up. Ever since I switched to Apple that doesn’t happen anymore. Moral of story is Google tracks users relentlessly

I followed these instructions a few months ago and just rechecked settings. They had no impact. I'm still stalked by Google sign-in pop-ins.

As long as websites choose to use Google's login services, you will see them. You have no control over that.

Apple, help!

Apple isn't here. And, even if they were, they have no control over third-party websites.

Do we have a fix for this yet. It’s giving me rage issues.

It is a choice of the site management of each site, and Google pays them to include the Sign in with Google. The only fix is to boycott sites that do this, and tell them why you are doing so. Apple can’t do anything for both legal reasons and the fact that it isn’t just an Apple issue; it happens whether you visit the site with Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android device, Chromebook, or any other device with a browser.

It was suggested to go from Safari to a Chrome-based browser. That is the acme of irony, switching to a Chrome based browser to avoid Google. Chrome is Google’s browser, that is designed from the bottom up to track everything you do, even when private browsing. From the frying pan into the fire.

Interesting, does that prevent you from going to Single-Signon sites like US government sites, that require login using ID.me? Or medical sites that use health-id.com?

And if you use Chrome that’s sort of like locking the front door and leaving the back door where Google spies on you continuously and sells your browsing habits open wide.

Hello VivaMerida,

Thanks for your post to Apple Support Communities. We see you are asking about a pop up to sign in to websites with your Google account using Safari. We did find some steps from Google to manage your account settings that should stop this pop up. Check out their support guide here: Use your Google Account to sign in to other apps or services

All the best.

I think that worked! Thanks so much, it was really annoying me, I canceled all my google stuff because of it.

Please help me stop Google pop up page from stopping me from using Safari on my Mac Air.

Apple - please pitch in w/a feature for users to disable.

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.

Apple could EASILY set up a preference option for users to essentially hide or suppress Google authenticate panel.

And get sued immediately.
