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?

I 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".

Brief: adds cookies to Chrome on the UNinstall process. Includes a funny "everlogin" one that lasts 10yr

Meeting hosts can make a setting change that makes that link visible by default, so you don't have to cancel xdg-open twice (only once)

Worth mentioning that the uninstaller sets the cookie by adapting your cookies file after reading contents of the file entirely unrelated to Zoom.
