wow as with everything that's come out about them it feels like they're trying to get the job done but with limited platform support and badly it's not absurd for a product manager to want your desktop zoom app to inherit your browser login though as a user if I saw this behavior I would have a few wtfs. But as a user I would never ever install zoom on a laptop my takeaway from this isn't GDPR implications, it's that desktop OSes need to get serious about permissions, especially filesystem walkabouts

it does it on uninstall, not install.

In no particular order: passing a token in the launch URI, a bundled WebExtension, a local WebSocket/HTTP server, on-demand executable customization.
