Webannoyances: "Switch to Google" on non Google Chrome Browsers

[prediscover]

I'm surprised this hasn't been reported :o
Maybe it's difficult to tackle. I'm not too familiar with how custom filters work :(

URL(s) where the issue occurs

www.google.com, https://www.google.com/maps/, https://calendar.google.com/ (basically all the google sites)

Describe the issue

Using anything that's not Google Chrome, Google will popup this window

Screenshot(s)

Versions

• Browser & Version: [Microsoft Edge Version 86.0.622.56, Firefox 82.0.2]
• Adblocker (uBlock Origin) & Version: [1.30.6]

Settings

All Default settings except add this webannoyances list

Notes

Every time I use the element picker; I notice that the filter is a different string of text so blocking it once only helps for a little while

Also AdGuard Annoyance idea down.

Do you have to be logged in to google account to see this? I can't reproduce on non-logged to google firefox.

@prediscover @krystian3w I tried again using 2 different google accounts on firefox and can not get this to reproduce. Maybe non-US IP is required? Or is this a message that if dismissed once on google account will never show back up? I also have all activity controls "Paused" on both google accounts set under https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-personalization maybe they need to not be paused?

I'm not sure how to reproduce since I am not experiencing the same popup with stock uBO filters + Web Annoyances Ultralist as ONLY other list enabled.

So far tested and can't reproduce on:

1. https://goo.gl/maps/nwQco9HSgXgV1fnd8
2. https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-personalization
3. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r?pli=1
4. https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=qbOiX9zlM-6lytMPmNK2yAQ&q=mansions+in+france&oq=mansions+in+france

For me helped remove completely chromium Edge profile.

So bug like as A/B test for Guests.

Still I see pop-up in calendar:

<iframe role="presentation" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://ogs.google.com/widget/callout?prid=19018053&pgid=19008544&puid…1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendar.google.com&cn=callout&pid=24&spid=24&hl=pl" style="height: 100%; width: 100%;">

So needed block by network filter or based on [role] and [style].

@krystian3w Thanks for tip on new profile in edge, that worked for me...

I see a few filter options ordered from least to most aggressive, what do you think?

1. Maybe least aggressive filter option with like you suggest using just [role] and [style]
   
   
   
   • google.com##iframe[role="presentation"][style="height: 100%; width: 100%;"]:upward(1)
   
   
2. More aggressive than 1. but I think this filter would also work, but not sure if there is anything else google uses the ogs.google.com iframe for?
   
   
   
   • google.com##iframe[src*="ogs.google.com/widget"]:upward(1)
   
   
3. Also possible network filter, but this probably most aggressive option:
   
   
   
   • ||ogs.google.com/widget/callout$subdocument,1p

ogs.google.com domain discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/enjoiy/is_ogsgooglecom_a_safelegitimate_cookie/

I think it is safest to go with approach 1. google.com##iframe[role="presentation"][style="height: 100%; width: 100%;"]:upward(1) since I don't want to cause any authentication breakage possibility by adding a network filter to that domain - thoughts?

[krystian3w]

AdGuard used similar with subdomains:

calendar.google.com,docs.google.com,mail.google.com,news.google.com,drive.google.com##iframe[src^="https://ogs.google.com/widget/callout?prid="]:upward(div[style^="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; width:"])

[yourduskquibbles]

I'm going to add google.com##iframe[role="presentation"][style="height: 100%; width: 100%;"]:upward(1)

[yourduskquibbles]

Updated the filter to google.com##iframe[role="presentation"][style="height: 100%; width: 100%;"][src*="ogs.google.com/widget/callout"]:upward(1) to address #269
