Firefox : everytime I close it, and third party cookies not allowed.
Chrome : never
I use Chrome almost exclusively to check my gmail account and Firefox for everything else.
I am aware that Chrome and Firefox share a flash cookie on the subdomain mail.google.com, but apparently it does not contain tracking data. Moreover it is not supposed to be sent when I use the main domain (if adobe follows the RFC). Google.com could hide an iframe pointing to mail.google.com but they wouln't dare, would they ?
So I think I am pretty safe from google tracking for now. Anyway, when I have time I will search HN comments and the web for a list of hostnames to map to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file.
