Google Intruding On Web Pages

K0LNY #104545 Hi, I get this annoying thing in FireFox, I don't use Edge enough to know if it would occur there. I'm wondering if some sites do this, and it is unavoidable, or if there is something I can turn off in Firefox so I don't get these google sign in offers at the top of many pages. I have to close it to get the message to go away. I don't want to use google to log in on web sites. Thanks

JM Casey #104546 Hey Glenn... Pretty sure it is website specific. Many sites now offer you the chance to log in using your google account. Since it's technically not an ad as such, I don't think ad blockers flag it and it's just there, hanging around being stinky. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of K0LNY Sent: March 5, 2023 3:22 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Google Intruding On Web Pages Hi, I get this annoying thing in FireFox, I don't use Edge enough to know if it would occur there.

K0LNY #104547 That is what I was thinking, but it is annoying as hell. Google wants a piece of everything and everyone. toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: "JM Casey" <jmcasey@...> To: <main@jfw.groups.io> Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2023 2:29 PM Subject: Re: Google Intruding On Web Pages Hey Glenn...

JM Casey #104548 Yep. All big companies do. Google's got their fingers in everything. It's eitehr them, or Amazon, or Apple, or something else. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of K0LNY Sent: March 5, 2023 3:32 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Google Intruding On Web Pages That is what I was thinking, but it is annoying as hell.

Karen Reynolds #104549 I see the same thing in Edge sometimes. Are you using google to do your searches in Firefox? If you change to another search engine does it do the same thing? And lastly, is it only on particular websites or across all of them? That last one goes with the previous question.

K0LNY #104550 Hi Karen, I don't use Google, I use startpage, which hides me from Google. It isn't on all pages, just pages that have a log in option.

Karen Reynolds #104554 Hi Glen, I've not found a way to get rid of that. It is rather annoying. Some websites want you to sign into google rather than your account at their website. Annoying.

Brian Vogel #104555 As an aside, this is but one of the reasons, regardless of the browser, that I do two things: 1. Set it up such that when I exit the browser, that it will reload my last session when it's fired up again. 2. Don't log out on most sites that require me to log in. For things like Gmail, Groups.io, and many online forums, to name but a few, it's just fire the browser back up and I'm still logged in and on precisely the same page(s) I was using when I last closed out the browser. It would drive me insane to have to log in again and again and again when it's really not necessary. My laptop almost never leaves my home, and even when it does, never leaves my physical possession. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) It’s not lack of contact with the world off campus that leads to the liberal views common in academia — it’s being trained to think critically and practicing this craft daily as we look at the world around us that makes us the libs conservatives so dislike. ~ Eliot A.

K0LNY #104557 Hi Brian, These are mostly sites with articles, that I don't have an account with. But the problem I had with eBay was unrelated to my browser retaining the login info, eBay periodically does this to people for security measures. So although my credentials were auto-filled, I still had to do the captcha thing.
