Is it a Chrome feature? I'd always assumed it was just an iframe, and would work the same on any browser.

Yeah, it happens in Firefox for me too. If I'm signed in to Gmail in Firefox and visit, say, Kayak or Priceline, I get the same popup. Safari seems to block it though.

You can go to

And disable Google Account Sign In prompts

I use several extensions that allow you to explicitly approve certain features or give permission to run JavaScript.

Out of the top of my head: NoScript, Trace [0], uBlock origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy badger.

As well as using a pi-hole.

There's a particular type of "login/signup to this site with your google account" popup that only happens in chrome. From the comment posted, that appeared to be what they meant.
