Noscript Secure cookies breaks Google+Youtube login
Posted: Sat Dec 25, 2010 7:14 am
If you enable automatic secure cookies management for *google.com, you can no longer login to youtube or Google accounts properly. Also, is there a way you can somehow break the link between google and youtube? AKA, if you log in to Youtube, and you decide to search on Google, then you are automatically logged into Google. Google obviously tracks people by IP address regardless of whether you are logged in or not... but being logged into google while searching gives google more jurisdiction over evidence of user specific searches. Is there some way to break this so that you can login to youtube while not being logged into google?

Hello,
Currently I have forced https enabled for *.google.com, and also enabled automatic secure cookie management to force encrypting of cookies from *.google.com.
I noticed that while I can log into gmail without any problems, if I then try to access reader.google.com (on a new tab, while still logged into gmail in the old tab), it would ask me to login again. I did that but then google returned a page saying that I need to clear my browser cache and delete the old cookie, etc. I tried doing that but somehow I still cannot access my google reader homepage.
I have tried adding reader.google.com to the ignore unsafe cookies field, but it doesn't seem to help.
I do have a work around -- instead of forcing cookie encryption from *.google.com, I only force cookie encryption on mail.google.com. However, if anyone know of a way so that I can have NS force cookie encryption on all google domains except reader.google.com, I'd greatly appreciate your help!
