I get this

“This is the same root cause I explained in the previous message — nothing changed in the code, this is purely an environment limitation.

The one-line fix: open your app in Chrome.

  1. Your app is already running at http://localhost:3000
  2. Copy that URL
  3. Paste it into Chrome, Safari, or Firefox (not Cursor’s built-in preview)
  4. Google Sign-In will work immediately

Cursor’s built-in browser panel is a sandboxed Electron webview. It blocks window.open() — which is exactly how Google’s popup OAuth works. There is no setting to turn this off inside Cursor’s browser. This is by design in Electron’s security model.

Your production deployment is completely unaffected by this. The error only appears in Cursor’s browser panel.“

I second this, since the first update that came with the browser tools I have been itching to use it but I am unable to. Its really concerning how cursor has put such a basic feature under the rug for an entire major version. Also this is literally a bug, not a feature request.
