[QUOTE="Hacker News, post: 72660, member: 365"] I have a mostly dormant GMail account from ages ago, which I check back into every few months to see if any mail stranded there by accident. Today was one of those days, and I tried to log in on an Arch Linux machine with Firefox 106.0.1 in Private Browsing mode, and uBlock Origin installed as the only relevant add-on. After having provided correct credentials, instead of having been granted access to my Google account, I was instead redirected to a landing page telling me this: [CODE] Couldn’t sign you in This browser or app may not be secure. [Learn more] Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can try again to sign in. [/CODE] The "Learn more"-link lead to [URL]https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7675428[/URL] Only after having read through that that I noticed an innocent "Try again using this browser"-link on the aforementioned landing page, which made me authenticate a second time using the very same credentials, and then, finally, letting me into my Google account. I guess that's a new way to try shoving Chrome down even more peoples' throats? It's high time anti-trust regulators slap the sh*t out of this corporation for its increasingly hostile tactics, similar to how the US set out to do with Microsoft back in the 90s.
