Google Popup Signing Prompt - How stop it?

I, like many others, want to stop the Google signing popup that I get when I go to websites. I have read many responses to this question and none of them apply. For example, go to Google/Security/Signing in with Google (under signing to other sites). This option doesn't exist. I use DuckDuckGo extensions to block popups as well as Safari setting Block & Notify for all Pop up windows. Surely there has to be an answer, even if the answer is there isn't a way to stop these popups at this time.


Is Apple doing anything to help all its frustrated users to fix this issue? Really would like to get an absolutely definitive answer to this issue.


Thanks!

Apple has nothing to do with it. Refer to this recent Discussion.

Also, why do I keep getting a “sign into google” popup when I am using safari with duck- duck-go?

The reason is the website in question has been coded to ask you for it. Despite what some people claim this can occur whether or not you have — or have ever had — a Google account.

If you do have a Google account, read https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/12849458

Otherwise, register your complaint with the website developer or administrator or whoever is getting kickback revenue from Google for that annoyance.


Again, Apple has no ability to control or influence what Google does.

Complain to the hosting site, don't patronize it, boycott it, etc. Apple might not have any influence, but your 💰 does. Use it.

the solution to the constant prompts from google asking you to sign in with Google is counterintuitive so I missed it several times while trying to turn this annoying feature off.


to turn off the prompt you first have to actually sign into your Google account and then once signed in you go to the settings option on the Google page and turn off the prompt toggle switch as noted in OP post.


I spent far too much time trying to find that **** toggle switch without actually logging onto google first (I was trying not to succumb to their pressure to log in - but alas, you have to sign in to get to the Google settings).


good luck

My problem is, I DESPISE google and will NEVER have a google account, how do I avoid these annoying popups when I cannot sign in and opt out? Can’t apple add an Opt Out option?


I read that google and Apple have an agreement to not block the login popups, which makes sense as google would block Apple in retribution. Personally, I would prefer neither, let me choose when I want to login and not prompt me at all!

The prompt is not coming from Google. It's coming from the website you are visiting. The website has opted to use Google accounts as a login option. So, if you don't want to see it, don't visit websites that have made the decision to that service.


Once upon a time, Facebook was a popular log in option but doesn't seem to be anymore.

TBartman69, I just updated my DuckDuckGo browser and went to yelp.com. In Safari, I get the Google sign in prompt. However, in DDG I didn't get the prompt. Was reading on DDG website that DDG tries to remove the Google sign prompt unless 1. It is a google page or 2. If DDG blocks the prompt and then site doesn't allow you to login without the popup showing.
