I'm on an iPhone 16 Max Pro, iOS 26.5, a couple of older iPads, and a MacBook Air, macOS 26.5. Is there any way to make sure I never see that damned Sign in With Google pop-up ever again?

Has anyone built an I-don't know-what, a spell or incantation to make that pop up go away forever?

I do not ever want to sign in with Google anywhere except at Google, and even then, only when I have to. I choose not to use Google for anything that I do not absolutely have to, and this pop-up annoys the hell out of me.

None of the suggestions I've found on the web anywhere actually work. I even installed Chrome for the sole purpose of reaching a setting that is only accessible in Chrome, and it didn't work. (Deleting Chrome now.)

I'd love a solution that works across iPhones and iPads as well, but anywhere it could be stopped is a start.

Thanks for any ideas.

Has anyone built an extension, a script, an Automator routine, an I-don't know-what, a spell or incantation to make that pop up go away forever? Is there something I can set with LittleSnitch or another app to block that?

Are there third-party or open source apps that will work with the camera? I’m disappointed to have what amounts to a non-squirrel proof, tiny feeder with a motion activated, WiFi enabled camera. Thoroughly disappointed.

The controls for battery optimization do nothing; I get as many photos in Power Saver as I do in Frenzy. Their supposedly discriminating AI that’s supposed to not take the crappy photos gives me multiple images of birds butts and blurry worthless garbage.

Basically, the BirdBuddy software sucks and in a despicable bait and switch there’s not even automatic ID. Not that it matters, the ID sucks too.
