Can you post a screenshot of this popup? Never seen it in years of Firefox use and lots of Google searching. Maybe one of my plugins blocks it.


Here's a screenshot from Edge.

Sometimes it's in a new top bar on the page but cannot remember if that's only on Gmail.

Damn, that is some duplicitous ad copy, especially in light of recent events.


This is all the more frustrating because there’s no way to have google remember “no thanks.”

Every time I see that pop up, I think “does it block pop ups like this?”


It was an annoying popup for years. I don't see it now when I search, but I've seen it recently.

It looks like they also make other browsers pay for ads while they post their own ads for "Google's Official Browser" at no cost:
