Maybe used to be off by default? It started popping up on a third of the pages I visit recently. Don't they know that everyone hates or are annoyed by pop up?

I started using Container Tabs on Firefox to isolate my Google account from everything else because of this.

I found it fucking creepy that random websites would say "Hi Symbiote, log in with Google" with my real name.

The "off by default" applies to developers, I worked with this API about a month and a half ago.

If you press the "X" button (_not_ just click off the popup) it will use an exponential backoff on your device.
