I happened to click a link that took me to the associated twitter X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it’s nothing new. I’ve got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What’s the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you’ve encountered recently?

I will say that the Google Auth prompt in particular is just this huge nuisance and a horrible experience. People should feel stupid for including it in their web experience.

Wait, how can I get rid of google auth pop-ups? I got Ublock but they still come up whenever I go to a reddit page.

The “Sign in with Google” popups on virtually every site? It’s nuts. I was just trying to figure this out today. Try these or these.

Thanks man, the ublock filter in the first link works like a charm :-)

Yes. How else would it get there?

Given how intrusive google is, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was kinda forced by them along with some other functionality

I don’t know, but I also don’t know why would anyone willingly choose this UX for their website.
