Jeff Johnson, Sign in with Google in Chrome:
Many websites such as Yelp show an annoying “Sign in with Google” banner when you visit.
This is what Google calls the One Tap user experience. Fortunately, my web browser extension StopTheMadness Pro hides “Sign in with Google” banners.
Annoying is an understatement.
Although Chrome avoids the “Sign in with Google” banners, Google’s browser still has its own custom annoyance. If you’re already signed in to your Google account when you visit a participating website such as Yelp, Chrome will display a One Tap dialog.
Jeff helpfully points out how to block these banners in Google Chrome:
- Navigate to
chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi - Switch the default behavior to “Block sign-in prompts from identity services”
If the courts and antitrust regulators are reading—they probably won’t read my blog, but one can dream—this is yet another example of Google advantaging its own browser Chrome over other web browsers.
