How to stop browsing madness: Requests to use location, Google Authenticate

Getting fatigued by always having to deal w/Safari "website.com" would like to your current location. Allow, Don't Allow, Remember my decision for one day." - want to "Don't Allow" all the time, every day and not be asked. This issue has plague for several years...


On a related note, Google Authenticate - a worse offender. Went down many rabbit holes on this which essentially states sign into your google accounts and disable. No matter how many times this is tried, this authenticate window will not stop. This issue started about a year back...

This one claims to the ability to stop those annoying "Sign in with Google" prompts: https://getbanish.com/


Disclaimer: I don't use it, or any Safari Extensions for that matter. If a website is annoying I don't patronize it.

The Google sign-in annoyances are almost certainly a function of the website. I don't have any Google accounts yet I still encounter a presumptuous "sign in with your Google account" prompt on some sites. It is a recent change (started several months ago).

Edit to add it's a very popular complaint: Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups - Apple Community
