I cannot adequately describe just how annoying I find these constant prompts to “Sign in with Google”. I appreciate the offer 40 times a day, but I genuinely don’t and probably never will use Google to sign in anywhere, no matter how practical and easy they want to make it.
Option 1: (no longer works)
The first option to get rid of these no longer works. Lifehacker had the answer, and I’ll leave it here for posterity’s sake:
- sign in to Google
- navigate to myaccount.google.com/security
- scroll down to a section called Signing in to other sites
- disable the switch on the next page
Option 2 (works with Firefox)
Since the above stopped, and I’m using Firefox, I had to find another workaround. Sadly this relies on an add-on, but so far it seems to work fine (as of January 2025). The add-on is called uBlock Origin and it needs a custom filter.
- click on the add-on, then the gear icon
- then under My Filters, add the following:
accounts.google.com/gsi/*Only downside is that I have to re-add that line every so often, and on every instance of Firefox I use, so it’s either not saved and/or not synced. At least it works reliably. Thanks to harrymc for this tip!
