Odd experience just now. Has not happened before to me. I received a Chrome browser notification (on my desktop) from Facebook. However, I was not logged-in to FB in any browser window or tab, and also had cleared all cookies from FB (I have a plugin that does this for all FB-related domains when I logout). So what mechanism is running in Chrome that allowed this to occur even though I was logged-off and no cookies for identity? Maybe local-storage? app cache? or ??
@codeWhisperer Chrome does sometimes borrow cookies from Edge. I have yet to find a way to stop it from doing this.
@kel I'm not using Edge, it's not even installed on this computer. But what you are saying is also worrisome.
@codeWhisperer Extremely.
Whatever the glitch is, I suspect it affects most Chromium-based browsers. 😬
@kel Wow. If true that has (ahem) implications. I don't have time to dive down this hole right now, but will work on it later.
@codeWhisperer I have good cause to use multiple accounts on certain websites. I'll often find that one browser will usurp the identity I was using on the other. The only way to pull it back is to log out and log back in with the original login.
It's crazytown.
@kel Same profiles, maybe?
@codeWhisperer Does that link persist beyond initial sync? I didn't think it did, but now I'll have to go check. 🤔
@codeWhisperer Entirely different browsers. Logged in as X on Chrome, Y on Edge. Close both. Open Edge, logged in as X.
Happens all the time. 🤪
