Yet another annoyance that follows us around the web: “Sign in with Google”

You can disable these prompts, but Google buried the option:

Manage your Google Account ⇢ Security ⇢ You connections to third-party apps & services (“See all connections”) ⇢ Settings (gear icon) ⇢ Google Account sign-in prompts: OFF

@andrewe Wouldn't that leave you unable to login on some sites though?

@harry_wood Nope. This just disabled the very large Google prompt with your name and email. In this example, there is still a “Sign in” button on Medium and I can select from a number of single sign on options ((including Google).
