Marco Arment:

If I ran a website that supported Google-account login, I’d be pretty pissed at how they’re suddenly putting up an obnoxious overlay over my site’s layout.

Why is this not bothering more people? Does anyone give a s**t about their websites anymore?

This aggressive dialog has been present since last year and it sucks. It looks horrible, it covers a large part of the page, and it effectively functions as an ad for Google on any third-party website that has implemented its authentication feature. Complete contempt for users.

I blocked these universally with my user stylesheet in Safari, and you can use a similar rule to mine in an ad blocker. StopTheMadness also hides this gross dialog.
