Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
The article discusses the prevalence of 'Sign in with Google' banners on websites like Yelp and highlights how Google Chrome does not display these banners, unlike Safari or Firefox. It mentions a browser extension, StopTheMadness Pro, that can hide these banners and provides a technical workaround for Safari users to observe the difference by spoofing the Chrome User-Agent header.

Fortunately, my web browser extension StopTheMadness Pro hides 'Sign in with Google' banners.
What you may not realize if you use Safari or Firefox is that the banners are never displayed in Google Chrome!
