Slightly different situation, but when I try to use YouTube (also owned by Google) using Duckduckgo, the error message tells me YouTube thinks I'm a bot, and I have to sign in, without Duckduckgo, if I want to see anything.
Spam. Bot. Excuses to drag us back into the monopoly.

@davidtheeviloverlord +1 I was recently sent a sign up sheet for a generic event and it was inaccessible unless you have a gmail account (I still do - been weaning myself off it for a year). and this is a known issue and has been for several years?! bonkers.
