How do I turn off Google Sign-In Prompts When Using Safari?

👍

FYI you're not the only one annoyed by it. There have been a flood of complaints recently. It's a difficult problem to comprehend because all you will be able to find out from Google or even a general Internet search is how to change your Google Account "sign in" preferences, and as you determined even that seems to be problematic.

But what about people who don't have a Google Account? They're even angrier about it because they don't have one, don't want one, will never get one, and expect somebody else to fix it for them once and for all — and as I wrote only the websites in question can do that.

Read that Google developer site. It's mind-bogglingly full of technobabble like "user conversion rates", "federated sign-in", "navigating journeys"... ad nauseam. This is by design.

By the way, Apple has a "Sign in with Apple" feature that any website can use if they so please: About Sign in with Apple - Apple Support.

Unlike Google no one seems to complain about it. I wonder why...

The U.S. is a foreign country to a lot of people reading here.

The Google "sign in to other sites" preference is there, but it only works for Android, and it says so on the preference page.

One friend suggested emailing the webmaster of any site where Google popped up, which I tried with a few but did not get any responses.

Nevertheless that is the correct action to take. Apple has no control over what a website's content. In fact Google doesn't even have any control over that. Only the website administrator or developer or "webmaster" can do that.

These pop-ups seemed to start in the last 12 months?

It's a recent Google "feature". Read https://developers.google.com/identity/gsi/web/guides/offerings Good luck with that.

My Google account does not have the section on the Security page "Signing in to Other Sites". I searched with phrase and found nothing. I also did not see anything that led to "Google Account sign-in prompts". Did Google rename them, move them somewhere else or delete them altogether?

What's worse it that if you do not have a Google Account, then even that won't help.

Contact the webmaster. You may not get any replies but other than boycotting the website that is all you can do.
