Edit: Deleting all cookies by hand seems to have solved the problem. Probably related to the bug pointed out by @trackd@lemm.ee in the comments. Cheers!
My browser has an extension that deletes cookies left by any website as soon as all tabs with that website's domain are closed. I can whitelist some of course, but Google's domains (*.google.com
,*.gmail.com
) are not whitelisted.
What's strange is that if I sign into Gmail, then close the tab or even Firefox, when I go into Gmail again I'm signed in automatically. I have no automatic sign-in functionality in Firefox, so this must happen because Google is saving cookies somewhere – or am I wrong?
So I don't understand with which URL these cookies are associated with – it can't be *.google.com
, because otherwise they would have been deleted.
Can anyone enlighten me about this?
[Not sure I've been able to explain myself clearly; apologies and let me know in case.]
I have degoogled myself when it comes to email, running self-hosted email & calendar (not my own server). Did it two years ago, and up to now it has worked very well. I don't miss anything from Gmail and have all the features it offered, plus some extra ones (like deleting email attachments via an email client – Gmail never deleted them, just archived them).
It's good, however, always to have a backup email address that's not connected with your hosting service. Up to now I've been using Gmail for that, but in view of recent developments, I just want to ditch the whole Google business.
I've seen that many people use Protonmail for this, and that's what I'm considering. I'd like to hear about more possibilities and experiences though. Maybe there's another provider that's friendlier or more consumer/internet-freedom oriented?

Track #1Composer - Yugo KannoI couldn't find the complete soundtrack on Youtube, so here I am once again. I hope my channel doesn't get taken down for this, ...
I'd like to change the preferred-application order for some mimetypes/file extensions, and trying to do that through the "File associations" tab of the System Settings Module. But the changes don't stick.
A look at .xsession-errors
shows that some files must be corrupted. For example I see (NB: this isn't the mimetype I'm trying to change):
Mimetype Comment Dirty: old= "application/vnd.amazon.mobi8-ebook" m_comment= "Amazon KF8 ebook format"
Entry "application/x-mobi8-ebook" is dirty. Saving.
and similarly for several other obscure mime-types (e.g. "x-x509-ca-cert").
I've tried a reset as described here, by renaming the ~/.local/share/mime
directory, creating a new ~/.local/share/mime/packages/
one, and calling update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
. But it doesn't help. I manage to do and save one change in the File Associations settings, but after that, other changes won't stick anymore.
Something seems corrupted upstream.
Any suggestions? Cheers!
