    Google should be forced to allow you to set your 
    preferences through your browser, i.e. not forcing
    you to login ...
I see how this is at least possible in Chrome, but how would this work in browsers Google doesn't control?

You could simply store an "anonymous" cookie. They already do it anyway for other settings. The first time I go on google on a new computer it asks me to review the privacy policy, it could also ask about those widgets.
