Wait, people choose to put it in their website??
Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be

I will say that the Google Auth prompt in particular is just this huge nuisance and a horrible experience. People should feel stupid for including it in their web experience.

Yes. How else would it get there?

Given how intrusive google is, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was kinda forced by them along with some other functionality

But it acts as a Login for the page instead of registering a new account? How would Google do that without the page owners permission?!

It’s not. It is up to the owner to code it into their website or not.

I don’t know, but I also don’t know why would anyone choose this UX for their website willingly.

Writing sign-in and authentication can be difficult. Google handles it for you. They’ll also store all of the secret stuff that you don’t want to leak, like passwords, etc. So I can see some of the appeal for sites of a certain size, but not really Twitter.

Wait, how can I get rid of google auth pop-ups? I got Ublock but they still come up whenever I go to a reddit page.

The “Sign in with Google” popups on virtually every site? It’s nuts. I was just trying to figure this out today. Try these or these.

Thanks man, the ublock filter in the first link works like a charm :-)
