Google sign in prompt

This incredibly annoying Google

pop-up in Safari has never been resolved. I have read many answers on this and other sites and they are all useless. No matter how often you turn off the sign in prompt on Google, it still occurs. It's obvious that Google has chosen to override any attempt to stop it. So it is now up to Apple to prevent it in their software. But will they. Judging bye, the lack of response in the past!

PS - this forum also seems flawed, asks for my device, then insists on another topic, but doesn't include Safari ??

OK, if we want to be picky!

I used to use Safari as a web browser and the search engine is set to DuckDuck Go in settings at present. I was hoping to stay with Safari.

"You would find the same thing no matter what browser you use. " As browser, I am frequently turning to Brave, which does not seem to suffer from this pop-up on the same sites, and is also much better at reducing ads and junk. Several on-line newspapers that are plagued with advertising junk run much cleaner on Brave - yet I believe it is allied with Chrome in some way (I am not an IT expert, obviously)

This is what we cannot get rid of! This is when opening a UK newspaper but the pop-ups are all over the internet!

I appreciate your response but it doesn’t work. Apple should fix this pronto.

Come on Apple, we get fixes from you all the time so we know you can solve this issue. Total bull ****.

I have AdGuard Pro and AdLock and tried many others. They do not stop Google Pop Up.

That would mean that you have to have a Google account, which I do not.

Appreciate the responses. Apple? Hello? Apple? You anywhere?

Jul 19, 2023 1:35 PM in response to H1290

Awesome thank you.

I’ll circle back if I get a fix.

I don’t use Google other than for work emails. It happens in Safari with Duck Duck Go. You’d think Apple would want to eliminate it for their own benefit let alone its Apple clients.
