Recently so many unrelated sites pop up a tiny Google login window somewhere on the page, obstructing what I want to see, like as if Google was super desperate for more tracking and engagement. Like why would I like to login to Google while viewing a forum about skyscrapers if I just wanted to read about the progress of some construction? Passive-aggressive at its core.

That's the sites itself enabling that, most likely their auth provider has SSO with groogle

Also, you can kinda-disable this per browser

https://myaccount.google.com/security -> "Signing in to other sites"

Note that we added support to remove those Google login pop-ups on third-party sites within our apps/extensions. See https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/we... for details and https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/we... for the full list of other protections.
