The popup is part of the web browsers security system. Squid has nothing
to do with that.

Modern browsers can be configured with a login cache for website and
proxy logins. Once the master password is given the others are handed
out as needed to the right places.

Use of secure auth protocols (Digest, NTLM, Kerberos) can also help the
browser send pre-encrypted tokens without needing a popup. Squid can
participate there by being configured to use them. Basic auth protocol
has the password in visible text form, so handing it out without user
consent is a bad idea and browser wont do it.
