Help infuriating “sign in with Google” popup

Sorry if this is tech support and not allowed.. feel free to flag.

I do not have a google account and don't use any google services to the best of my knowledge and ability. (Fastmail, DDG, apple maps, etc.)

How do I stop the "sign in with google account" that is now popping up on most sites I visit? Yelp, newspaper, reddit, travel websites, retail websites, etc.

It's possible I had a google account at some point in my life but certainly not any time recently/while using this IP address (to the best of my recollection).

Everything I read online says to stop the banner I have to log into my google account to change the preference. I'm about to lose my mind. Please help.

    So it seems like there’s nothing I can do about this and have to live the rest of my internet life with this pop up everywhere I look.

    Thanks, Google, for making the internet a worse place for me.

    What browser are you using? I've seen it too. At first I thought it was a new Firefox feature but I've seen it on fennec and the desktop Firefox. I'm thinking its a back end integration with specific sites. Hopefully its not Firefox.
