  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?!

        Honestly, I didn’t even know what it does until now. I get so annoyed by it that I just close it immediately after it pops up. Probably time to make a uBlock Origin filter for it I guess

      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.

        I can understand that, and a user can also enjoy the simplicity of the process. However, I’m speaking about this very popup here. It doesn’t have to be this way. There are plenty of websites that allow you to sign in/up with Google (or another 3rd-party provider) that don’t have this problem. I see so many websites and mobile apps that make it very difficult to use them. I always wonder if anyone at the company is using their own website/app. Reddit is another great example.
