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?

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

      But it acts as a Login for the page instead of registering a new account? How would Google do that without the page owners permission?!

        Honestly, I didn’t even know what it does until now. I get so annoyed by it that I just close it immediately after it pops up. Probably time to make a uBlock Origin filter for it I guess

      It’s not. It is up to the owner to code it into their website or not.
