Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups

I have a Mac air. I am not a big Google user (or Google fan for that matter). However, I do have a Google account that I have accessed via my Safari browser. However, just about every other website is now causing a pop-up that asks me to "sign in with google" as many of these sites have a SSO with Google. I have removed all of my Google sign-in's from Safari, removed cookies, removed history but these annoying "sign in with Google" prompts still exist. I have removed this "opt in" check-box on my Google account as well without any success. How do I stop the annoying pop-ups from Google asking me to sign in?

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.
