C'mon, what does it take for Zoom to understand that when people uninstall software they don't want parts of it to stick around forever?
Zoom is not alone in this. Lots of crud gets left, and it differs between which OS it is.

This looks more like them actively placing a cookie into the cookie DB upon install. Doesn't appear to be simply left behind.

#46I love how when you go to enter a Zoom meeting, they bury the no-install, run-in-browser link in small type in a footer. And then, if you manage to see the link and use the browser, they withhold "Gallery View", forcing you to deal with the extremely annoying "Active Speaker View".
The web version also won't allow the host to request control from what I can tell. I use it daily for remote support because new webex sucks and no one knows what jitsi is.
Do you really think controlling your local desktop is an API feature that web browsers should provide to web apps?

For remote support, you may want to look into a more purpose-built system, such as TeamViewer or LogMeIn Rescue.

Is this a browser limitation or something? I think microsoft teams has the same issue.

#49Brief: adds cookies to Chrome on the UNinstall process. Includes a funny "everlogin" one that lasts 10yr
Worth mentioning that the uninstaller sets the cookie by adapting your cookies file after reading contents of the file entirely unrelated to Zoom.
> after reading contents of the file
In the same way I'm reading your mail if I look at it to see whether it's my mail, and then put it back down when I see your name.
That is to say, not at all.

I’d guess as much as they love us installing their software, it’s also just really hard to solve these types of problems when you’re restricted to the browser.
