2. Instead of that use separate firefox profiles - one exclusively of Gmail. Another for casual browsing. If you clear cookies all the time then it seems like you are logging in so many times per day. This could be a warning sign of hacked account - for google. (i.e) do not do unusual things.

3. At the end U2F is the proper solution, albeit late!

I therefore have one for facebook, slack and so on (i.e) for every major company when I login. Then one is for just browsing.
