Description

Automatically delete cookies when a tab or the browser is closed!

Cookie Auto Delete is an extension that helps you quickly erase cookies for a tab when it closes (Tab-Only mode). Moreover, you can set the addon to remove cookies for all tabs when the browser is closed (Session-Only mode).

The toolbar icon serves as an ON|OFF switch to quickly turn the addon ON or OFF. This addon can potentially improve your privacy as it deletes cookies (and most importantly third-party cookies) which are used to track user's behavior across multiple websites. Please note that, if you want to switch modes, open the addon options and mark the desired option. Moreover, this addon has a whitelisting tool to easily exclude a domain from Cookie Auto Delete. Simply add a domain comma separate to the designated area on the options page.

Note: this extension is made in collaboration with the author of Cookie Switch ON|OFF (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-switch-onoff/okclohaghlaedgghhngcenaandmajmmk)

add this extension to Firefox. Thank you

Oh, this extension frustrates me so much. It's this close to perfect, but the few issues are almost deal breakers. Minor issue: you have to add entries to the allowlist by hand. As in, copy the new website hostname, open the extension's options page, add the hostname to a single comma-separated field. Eugh. MAJOR issue: you can only allowlist hostnames and not entire domains. Say you've allowlisted proton.me, account.proton.me and mail.proton.me. Then you go to drive.proton.me and close the tab. Bam, all your proton.me cookies are deleted and you are signed out of everything. This completely breaks sites like Dreamwidth that use one hostname per user.

It does what it says in the tin -but nothing else. It will delete cookies either when closing tab or browser, no airs or graces. Having to manually enter the site/cookies you want to keep is a pain.
