Whenever you see the in page popup “Login to Some Website with Google” that is an iframe back to Google servers. The less Google knows about me, the happier I am.
Is there a reliable mechanism similar to UBlock where I can just block them?
Web search’s have led to “guides” by Google on how to request they stop making it obvious they are tracking you.
I believe you could just add this into the block list:
accounts.google.com/gsi/clienti have 3rd party frames blocked by default in ublock, as well as scripts from google. i assumed that blocks them? i did not actually check though and of course i need to turn the 3rd party frame blocking off when i want to see certain things (but really not as often as one might think) ;w;
Oh nice, where is that in the settings? Is it one of the option filter lists or on another tab in settings?
It’s buried in advanced settings. Preferences>Settings>I am an advanced user, then when you open the ublock panel on a website, you can disable 3rd party frames and scripts. As Oberon said, adding ‘accounts.google.com/gsi/client’ to My filters blocks google specifically.
There is a custom filter you can copy and paste into uBlock. I searched uBlock stop Google login on DDG a few years ago and found it, and it worked.
How about UMatrix you can blacklist googles urls
Noscript is your friend.
Whitelist the scripts you do need, leave everything else (including all of Google if you want) blocked.
Iirc, there was a question about it on Stack Overflow where someone replied with an Ublock Origin filter. Can’t check now but if no one finds until I can check again, saving the thread to check myself. But could work? Dunno how to check if Ublock’s filters help stop a given element receive personal information.
Never use an third party account to log in in a service.
With the Portmaster you can block Big Tech completly (Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc), with it these companies not longer exist for you, but the price is that you can’t not longer access to any of their services.
