Bypassing.. Google account chooser

Google Account Chooser Cleaner is broken ((
http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/184950

Could someone change it by making the script deleting the google account changer cookie ?
There's an addon for that:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-cookie-for-google-ac/
but i can't use it in pale moon, cause pale moon rejects sdk jetpack based addons..
in a major update of pm v27.

why don't you just uncheck the "stay signed in" option ?
It's just one click, one time.

because it's not useful.

1) ur browser crash after intense use & memory hogging:
u need to reenter the password on session restore..

2) you can be logged off at any action after an internal time-over

3) a new addon update or browser update ? & the password needs
to be reentered again at restart.

I don't know what that userscript does. It seems to change a lot of stuff for no apparent reason. ??

The extension works by deleting the ACCOUNT_CHOOSER cookie.

That cookie has the isHttpOnly flag, which bars manipulating it through document.cookie in client-side JavaScript, and GM does not yet have support for deleting isHttpOnly cookies. See: https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1802

So you'll need an extension of some kind to use that technique.

Is removing the cookie what you want, though? It leaves you with the "who are you" login dialog rather than one linked to your preferred account.

To experience that: When you encounter the chooser, manually delete the cookie and reload the page. Either of these methods should work (while on accounts.google.com):

(1) Page Info => Security => View Cookies => select cookie => Remove button

(2) Developer tools => Storage category => Cookies => right-click cookie => Delete ACCOUNT_CHOOSER

Then reload.

"Is removing the cookie what you want, though? It leaves you with the "who are you" login dialog rather than one linked to your preferred account."
-Yes.

1-2) To experience that: When you encounter the chooser, manually delete the cookie and reload the page.
-lol? i'm not contacting devs for a manual deletion )) i know how to manually delete cookies ((

It's as weird, each time i check other accounts, as not checking "remember" password"
& facing crashes or addon updates & having to reenter the password each time that happens..

I need a set & forget solution like that addon above that i cant unfortunately use anymore, because of my browser's major update.

Maybe someone will pick up the challenge on the Add-ons forum, or be able to suggest one of the many other cookie-related extensions that could zero in on ACCOUNT_CHOOSER and either clear or block it without affecting other Google cookies.

I don't think theres an addon that does it, i've tested many, they usually block cookies by domain.. not by cookies internal names..

& i don't think that link would help me, i've posted like 5 addon fix requests there 7 years ago. nobody had time for it. they're not so active on that site

Hello delicacy, remember that this forum is for userscripts, and the task you ask for needs to broke a browser security system: the HTTPOnly cookie flag. This can be only broken by 1) the server that gives the cookie, 2) the browser or an addon, or 3) the user manually.
Actually, GM and TM does not have this option so you need to ask for it on addons forums or on the GM/TM forums. Nobody can redesign the browser technology with userscripts.

ps: you have the knowledge to do an exception "if you wanted" Leon.. you know how to create addons. & i believe it wouldn't be too complicated for you, since it consists of only blocking a cookie..

it consists of only blocking a cookie No. It consist of broke a browser security. Understand the difficulty.

up to you, if it's too hard (( i thought that based on
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-cookie-for-google-ac/
you could have probably reused the code differently than using jetpack jdk

On further review, you're right: Firefox add-on developers are rushing to learn and use the WebExtensions API. Pale Moon doesn't use WebExtensions. The odds of anyone on Mozilla's Add-ons forum wanting to work on a XUL-only extension seem really low.

I found at least one guy converting Jetpack/SDK extensions for Pale Moon. Maybe you can get the one you want to use on the list: https://github.com/JustOff/pm27-sdk-addons

you're the best Jefferson, thanks a bunch, i hope that guy can convert that extension, i'll make him the request ))

that guy doesn't respond ((
