   If you’re annoyed by those floaty prompts on websites to sign into them with your Google Account, you can turn them off for your Google account! Link: https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/permissions

     @narF @liaizon @ayo @rmondello These popups only appear if you have an active Google account session. And they do not require you to have an account to track you, but that's a different story.

     @liaizon @ayo @rmondello Which mean you need to have a Google account in other for them not to track you... ?

     @liaizon @rmondello is it just going to sign us in automatically? What if we don’t want to sign in?

     @mfisch Oof, sorry about that, it does look like the relevant pop-up. Time to create a Google account to not use it? ?

     @hypolite for example. Every site that has this is cursed. I’ve tried with piHole as well without any luck.

     @hypolite I have one. But signing into Google every time I launch a browser is a hard no from me. Wiping cookies on close is a hill I’ll die on.

     @mfisch I hear you, I do the same, and I usually don't bother to sign in again when I don't have an immediate need for an account, which shouldn't be too much to ask for.

     @hypolite this is just some google/meta product manager fantasy for how the internet should work. First force sign in when using chrome, then harass the whole internet until everyone does it. By 2025 I’ll probably get a call from a google ad rep every time I load a site without being signed in.
