I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

Anybody know why google has a popup on every major website now? And more importantly, how to get rid of that without creating an account?

uBlock Origin Filter:

||smartlock.google.com
||accounts.google.com/gsi/$3p
||id.google.com^

||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p.

You mean uBlock Origin, right?

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 14 points 4 months ago

Yes, that's the only one you should use
