The JavaScript client library for Sign In With Google and Google One Tap is designed to be compatible with most common browsers and platforms. It is not guaranteed to work on all browsers or platforms.
Due to security risks the JavaScript client library is only supported on the latest two versions of each browser.
Compatibility
Support for the Sign In With Google button and One Tap sign-in flows varies across browser and platform combinations.
The user experience may differ between browsers based upon availability of these features:
Supported sign-in flows and features are shown in the following tables. Not all browsers are available on all platforms, N/A means a supported browser is not available on the platform.
Sign In With Google
| Browser / Platform | Android | iOS * | macOS | Linux | Windows 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | |||||

Third-party cookies
As a participant in the W3C FedID community group working on FedCM, Google Identity Services has been working to increase user privacy and security while also minimizing the changes to existing websites and preserving ease of use for our users. The GIS JavaScript library now supports the proposed FedCM API.
As of August 2023, Google Identity Services fully supports FedCM and recommends its use. Changes to adopt FedCM may be required for some existing web apps.
Recommended
- Enable FedCM for new web apps and migrate existing apps.
Not Recommended
- Disabling FedCM.
As of August 2022, Google Identity Services has conducted a limited FedCM origin trial. Approximately 20 websites and 300K users successfully signed in using FedCM APIs and GIS.
We're pleased to say early feedback has demonstrated that for most websites, switching to a more private and secure sign-in process without third-party cookies can occur transparently through backward compatible updates to the existing GIS library. Minimal to no changes to existing user flows and websites was required. This is a critical point as widespread adoption of FedCM APIs relies on a trouble-free migration by existing websites.
Based upon this preliminary feedback, GIS plans to expand participation in testing GIS with FedCM.
During trials these issues were discovered and may require some web sites to take action when FedCM is adopted by GIS:
- Browser rendered dialogs eliminate the existing ability for sites to use style attributes or intermediate iframes to control sign-in dialog positioning. This may obscure existing site content, some of which may be helpful or critical for users to see before signing in.
- Although not yet widely deployed, some sites may use CSP and COOP. In these cases, sites may have to make changes to direct browsers to allow popups and to load cross-site resources.
