So…who hates those Google log-in pop-ups that are seemingly everywhere now? Wanna make them go away?
1. Get uBlock Origin (which you should have already been using):
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
2. Open the plugin and click the settings button.
3. Click on the “my filters” tab and paste this into the input:
||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p
That’s it! Worked flawlessly for me.
