[Resolved] Annoying google popups

Post by irnbru »

I've been using NoScript for a long time and like the simplicity of it, kudos to the makers and/or developers.

I did try a few searches but did not get any relevant result, so apologies if my search-fu is somewhat lacking.

I have came across an issue recently that when visiting some websites I get a popup from Google, asking me to login to this site with your google account.

Which I obviously never want to do. Is there an option I am missing in NoScript to halt that behaviour, and block only the popup ?

Many thanks in anticipation of any help

No, there is no option specifically for blocking Google sign-in popups. NoScript is a security tool, not an annoyance remover, it's not really designed for that.

It might be possible to stop that popup on some sites by blocking active content from accounts.google.com, but you'd get better and more comprehensive results using another extension e.g. a wide-spectrum blocker like uBlock Origin.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
