As is the case with permissions, users may switch it to allow or block instead. The default permission is set to ask, which prompts users whenever a site requests to use the Google Sign-In system. The developers have created a site permission, called Google Sign-In, which handles the functionality per site. Starting in Brave Browser 1.51, Brave removes the setting under Soccial Blocking. Brave's privacy change regarding Google Sign-In requests The exception is limited to URLs used for Google logins other Google systems, including those used for analytics or ads, were not allowed.īrave users may load brave://settings/socialBlocking in the address bar to configure the current setting. Third-party cookie access is needed, as it powers the functionality. When users kept it enabled, an exception to Brave's third-party cookies handling was made for all sites that used the Google Sign-in system. Under the hood, Brave blocked third-party cookies for Google's SSO system, if the setting was disabled. Enabled by default, users could disable it to prevent these sign-ins from working. Depending on how the system is designed, additional use data may also be available to the SSO providers.īrave Browser, up until now, had a single switch to allow or block Google login buttons on third-party sites. The big tech sites gain insights on the sites that a user uses, at the very least. While these sign-in options offer benefits, they do come with risks. Security-wise, it is often the case that these large companies offer better protective and security features. Using these to sign-up to a service is a straightforward process that speeds up account creation and eliminates the need to remember yet another secure password. Most Internet users have accounts at Google, Facebook and other major sites already. These systems, offered by Google, Facebook and other major Internet companies, offer several advantages both to the site and to the user. Third-party websites and services may use single sign-on (SSO) systems for authentication. To better understand the change, it is necessary to take a look at how Brave browser handles these prompts currently.
