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".
I wasn't even aware that was possible until now.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Worth mentioning that the uninstaller sets the cookie by adapting your cookies file after reading contents of the file entirely unrelated to Zoom.
Worth mentioning that the author speculates that this happens not for a nefarious reason, but in a binary tree search to locate your zoom cookie.
It was really odd they didn't bother.

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)
It's unfortunate that they bought and destroyed Keybase [1] in a bid to improve their security and even still there seems to be no improvement. Guess even the best folks can't make an impact if company culture prevents it. [1] https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/commit-activity

Yeah this was so sad, but I'm happy the guys that made it got paid. Even they would have known this was the end for Keybase. Hopefully when their non-compete clauses end the developers will make another product the same.

Not specific to Keybase, but a lot of "cyber security firms" these days base their entire business on gross violations of privacy, unfortunately.
The specific citation about the length of a cookie is a recommendation and not a law[0]. The key word is 'should'.
I'm not a lawyer nor claim the ability to interpret GDPR legally, but I have seen companies that actively worked to edge case GDPR to their advantage (I was part of one). We would have lawyers and other 'GDPR experts' tell us what was possible and what wasn't then simply extend into the grey area.
Here, I reject the Halon's Razor[1].

They do have a Chrome App that will run zoom in Chrome with gallery view, but they hide that even more thoroughly unless you're on ChromeOS: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom/hmbjbjdpkobdj...
To be fair, Chrome apps are ending next year. https://blog.chromium.org/2020/08/changes-to-chrome-app-supp... Maybe they'll be forced to make a usable web version by then, but I doubt it.
