It is most likely that google keeps changing parameters so often as
to make nothing else work with their servers other than their own crappy
software. This way by the time package maintainer releases an update
and people receive it something changes again. One can barely keep
up with their webpages, news, etc with a simple browser.
Whenever I had to reinstall TB anywhere, the first thing I did was to
disable and uninstall the calendar "app". An email pkg should stick
to email and plugins should come separate. So mozilla is not that
much better than other corporations. Too bad debian opted to
abandon their own projects of iceweasel etc but in terms of security
these pkgs are nightmares. Before someone jumps on me and
criticizes back please explain why an email program will need to
use cookies, among other things it does.
Free and open? If you say so.
One birdy flew over the cookoo.
So if you trust google so much with your personal communication
and whereabouts, why use linux? I was looking at distrowatch the
otherday and there is a port of android for intel/amd machines.
Why not run android in your main computer and download the google
app? I bet that works!
