How to set up ghostery to block google sign on pop up

3,984 115 Today at 10:18 AM
I use Ghostery as it does a good job on Outlook.com

Ghsotery changed their interface - so there is no room to enter the custom filter:
||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p
||id.google.com^
||smartlock.google.com^
||accounts.google.com/gsi/iframe

What can I do to filter this annoyance?

Use ghostery in combination with uBlock Origin or UBlock Origin Lite (if you still use Google Chrome).

UBlock lite didn't block the google annoyance on Firefox.
But uBlock origin did it.
So running both UBlock and Ghostery for now until I can configure Ghostery

The only reason to use ublock lite is if you use chrome, the regular version doesn't work on chrome anymore.

Both ghostery and ublock are pretty light on system resources, probably save more than they use. There is some overlap between them but they block slightly different things.
