The crazy part is that the popup is not part of the DOM, it's injected by the browser *over the page content*. If it were in a browser toolbar I woudln't mind, but obscuring page content is just asking for an antitrust suit.

I left chrome and switched to Brave 6mo ago because I couldn't get these "Sign in with Google" popups to stop. I tried both the chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi option and the option under https://myaccount.google.com/ and neither one worked, I just kept getting them.

According to other commenters in here [0], it's an open standard and other identity providers are allowed, not just google

Still an unforgivable violation of trust to have a floating popup over the content that's not part of the DOM and not part of the browser's normal native UI. I never want my browser to inject unblockable overlays over sites I'm trying to browse.
