   You could always blackhole google's domain names, either in your OS or in your router. It's likely that may lead to unexpected issues, though, as google is nearly ubiquitous these days.

     @bmacDonald94 @bruce A lot of webdevs use CDNs from google to distribute stuff like jquery and what not else frontend stuff.

     If you want to specifically block the sign-in related stuff leading to google I'd recommend blocking something like accounts.google.com .

     You can do this by adding it to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on mac/linux, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows), looking something like this:

     127.0.0.1 accounts.google.com

     it'll remap the domain to localhost, blocking it.
