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?
Wait, people choose to put it in their website??
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
