Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/998

When I log in using google login for other services, the page opens up on a new tab I can use many features (i.e Choose Gmail account or Gmail autocomplete, auto password fill-up (by password manager extension), and even no 2 fact verification if the account is already logged in on the same browser.)

I'm not sure how it's currently implemented in floccus but its functionality lacks in many ways that much I can tell.

This also actually causes login issues on many browsers (#919 and #921). If possible, please have a look at it.

Follow standard OAuth for Google login

As far as I can remember, what floccus does is the standard (possibly the only) way to do OAuth in a web extension, that's why there is a web extension API for it. I'm aware that some browsers crash upon using this API, but that doesn't make it non-standard, IMHO. I'm happy to be proven wrong, though.

Hi, thanks for responding. Please check Tampermonkey's way of Google Oauth implementation, it opens up the Oauth in a new tab that retains all functionality (mentioned above) and I've seen no browser crashed so far with that.

Edit: Altho, I'm not sure how much it'll help since Tampermonkey is not Open Source anymore and I'm not sure if Tampermonkey had this in the older version.

This repository contains the source of the Tampermonkey extension up to version 2.9. All newer versions are distributed under a proprietary license.

Yeah, I don't think it did, code search doesn't yield anything :/

Okay, check this one, (Violentmonkey) it's full FOSS and its Google login also works ~~almost~~ nicely.

Nice, since you're interested in implementing it, I'll add this issue here for you to read, https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/1396

[You'll know why I added 'almost', you can try to fix or ignore this since it only happens on kiwi]

That's the problem with hacks. They are often not officially supported :/

But the Tempermoney implementation is just perfect, I haven't encountered any issues with that (but alas it's closed source).
