Today I learned: If you use #Chrome and are annoyed by those "Sign in with Google" dialogs stealing keyboard focus on certain websites, you can disable it at the browser level.

In the address bar, type or paste in "chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi" (without the quotes. You should land on the "Third-party sign-in" Settings page.

On that page, there'll be two radio buttons: "Sites can show sign-in prompts from identity services", and "Block sign-in prompts from identity services". Set it to the second one, and you should find that the problematic dialogs are no longer present.

#Google #Chrome turned off my #uBlock Origin extension without asking me.

So, I switched over to #Firefox. Well, that was an easy switch! 😃

(Thought about choosing #LibreWolf but that is a decision for another day.)

If you've been forced to use Chrome at work because of a bad app selection that doesn't allow non-Chrome browsers.

#USDoJ ruling reiterates: Google must sell #Chrome to a competitor.

Much better would be to mandate #FreeSoftware license, so it stays in community control and all the #UserHostile #monopoly crap can be freely stripped. But splitting the business is a good start.

Mind you, this still isn't a good excuse to use a Chromium-based browser.

And for all you people using Brave out there, well :corgi_wtf1:🖕 Brave is run by this guy who hates queer people and believes conspiracy theories about Covid, so maybe don't use his shitty browser that's been caught injecting affiliate links.

Me: Please don't use Chromium-based browsers, use Firefox instead. Google has way too much control over the web because of Chromium and they'll be sure to leverage that in order to benefit themselves.

Chromium: Hey all, we're getting rid of ad-blockers because it's cutting into our record-breaking revenue! I mean, uh, we're deprecating Manifest V2 for, uh, security. Yeah.

Me: See? Please use Firefox. :blobfoxmeltsob:

Mozilla: Hey friends, AI is really cool! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we're making an ads business! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we have a ToS with either the most nefarious or the most incompetent language ever! *steps on rake* Also AI is cool!!!

Me: ... :corgi_wtf1:​ I hate it here.
