If I ran a website that supported Google-account login, I'd be pretty pissed at how they're suddenly putting up an obnoxious overlay over my site's layout.

Why is this not bothering more people? Does anyone give a shit about their websites anymore?

Does Google?

vitonsky,

@marcoarment i just always close this popup with no doubts anyway. For me this popup is just one more signal about bad site quality, so i try to avoid signup or use one time fake emails if i really need some service.

The conclusion is, this popup makes any site doesn't look serious and you will lose some clients.
