To tackle the forced Google sign-in pop-ups, DuckDuckGo has come up with a new mode called the Google Sign-in Pop-Up Protection – where it’ll block such pop-ups for a seamless browsing experience.
The user privacy-focused company accuses Google of such forceful practices for tracking users and targeted advertising. Thus, interested users are asked to update their DuckDuckGo browser and plugins to see this new mode and be more private.
DuckDuckGo’s Google Sign-in Pop-Up Protection
Continuing its wrath against Google, DuckDuckGo has announced a new privacy mode called the Google Sign-in Pop-Up Protection – which aims to block the forced Google sign-in popups on any website you visit.
NEW: Have you seen these Google sign-in pop-ups lately? They may seem helpful but signing in actually gives consent to being tracked. We just released Google Sign-in Pop-up Protection to help block the pop-ups in our apps and extensions.???? pic.twitter.com/i7LzbNphIc — DuckDuckGo (@DuckDuckGo) December 22, 2022
