- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12807278, 8 years agoCookie AutoDelete is simply superb, especially the active mode, however I found a minor bug-glitch whatever you may like to call it. I hope that it will be removed in near future.
When you open a site in the same tab, which already has some other site open, then the cookies of the previous site are not deleted at once ( I am in active mode ). You can keep on opening sites successively in the same tab while your cookies would be piling up cumulatively. When you close that tab, then all the accumulated cookies are deleted at once ( active mode ).
Hope thats enough info to help in debugging. Still giving 5-stars because I really like the instant cookie delete in active mode with 0.02 minutes of delay. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13081131, 8 years agoLove it! Please give option to make greylist the default, then it would be perfect.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dave L, 8 years agoThanks for updating for Firefox. 57. as a long time user of SDC, I needed a replacement.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12918745, 8 years agoI've been testing Cookie AutoDelete as a successor to Self-Destructing Cookies, and so far, I'm very impressed with it. Great work!
I'll just note that, as of now, Cookie AutoDelete doesn't (at least for me) automatically delete cookies associated with a container. But aside from that, I haven't noticed any major issues.
With regard to Self-Destructing Cookies, according to its developer, Self-Destructing Cookies "is incompatible with Firefox 55+" and that "it will not be rewritten as a WebExtension." So I really appreciate that Kenny Do has stepped in to provide a worthy successor.
Many thanks to Kenny Do!Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for using it. I'm currently working on the next major version 2.X.X which I hope to release a beta version soon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13170600, 8 years agoI am so tired of Google invading my browser. This little add-on though maybe not perfect is close to it!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Robertomcat, 8 years agoHello Goodnight.
I had a question about this add-on. It turns out that when I log into a webpage with the plugin turned on so I do not store any cookie, when I close the tab and re-enter after a few seconds, the session is still started. Why is this happening?
Another question. I have accessed a web page where I have also logged in and I have told the add-on that I did not wipe cookies from this site (blue icon). Then I closed the web page, and I came back and I told him to complement the cookies after closing the tab (red icon). After closing the entire browser, and when I returned to the same web page, the indicator showed the blue color with the indication "Never clean (white list)". I do not understand this supplement.
Thank you for your work! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13284623, 8 years agoThis extension is great, it is a must.
My bummer is that I was having
"privacy.firstparty.isolate = false" in firefox settings, for months, which prevented it from working.
I know this is not _your_ bug, but it would really be nice if the extension could check this config value and give a warning to user that nothing works!
The current result of the combination is a distastrous feeling of privacy.
Thanks for this great extension anyway! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13281229, 8 years agoWork just as good if not better then SDC, seeing SDC is not gona get updated I will start use this, sadly it has same limitations of not being able to whitelist 3rd party site cookies, so those cookies must be done threw firefox whitelist system, if firefox is set to never accept 3rd party cookies. from my undertanding this not issue with the addons, but how the 3rd party cookies work? none the less great replacement for SDC and will look foward to years of use out this addon
- Rated 3 out of 5by Sylwester, 8 years agoIt works, but everything is so ugly (menu, settings etc.) and there is no way to hide ridiculous (sometimes) hundreds of removed cookies log in menu!
The old (but not working nowadays) Self Destructing Cookies was beautifull comparing to this.
This is nothing personal, just look at other addons like Bitwarden or Ghostery.
UI MUST be reworked, because now it looks like work-in-progress version 0.1.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by nakivagyok, 8 years agoI suggest changing the blue color to green (at Never Clean option), like at Self-Destructing Cookies, much more understandable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by RobertJ, 8 years agoThis add-on does everything you could want in cookie management. In testing it on FF57a it works as described.
- Rated 5 out of 5by DAS, 8 years agoBrilliant, but I have to agree with previous poster, Active Mode is a poor choice of name.

posted 8 years agohttps://github.com/mrdokenny/Cookie-AutoDelete/issues/104#issuecomment-327342641 - Rated 5 out of 5by Sn3ipen, 8 years agoA genius way of getting rid of cookies without blocking them outright, which would break most websites.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13266710, 8 years agoI have android and it said ready it started already

- Rated 5 out of 5by David Hedlund, 8 years agoGood as Self-Destructing Cookies, plus that Cookie AutoDelete comes with a useful import/export tool.
- Rated 5 out of 5by cosmicomics, 8 years agoThis add-on is good at deleting ordinary cookies, but, unlike Self-Destructing Cookies, it doesn't offer the option of hiding the window and turning off the noise when cookies are being deleted. It's especially irksome when I'm listening to music while browsing. I would very much appreciate it if you could add this option.
Edit 1
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm referring to the noise that comes with the notifications. I downloaded the add-on yesterday, and the preferences page showed the "welcome" text, but not the settings. Now it does. I haven't checked "Show Notification After Cookie CleanUp," but that hasn't had any effect. I've clicked "SAVE," but there's no indication that anything has been saved.
One last thing: After each setting there's a question mark, but when I click on a question mark nothing happens. I had hoped that clicking would show a short explanation of what the setting does. It would be helpful if it did.
Edit 2
I deleted Firefox and re-added it without the old files, and now I have access to the settings. Everything seems to work as it should. Thanks for your help.Developer response
posted 8 years agoDo you mean the notifications because you can disable that in the settings as I said in the addon page.
Edit 1:
I think either your Firefox profile might be broken or there's another extension that's disabling JavaScript on the settings page. - Rated 5 out of 5by DevilishVicious, 8 years agoVery good replacement for Self-Destructing Cookies. Working great so far. I just don't like the toolbar icon, it looks bad, poor resolution perhaps. But it's just a little annoyance. In terms of functionality it does the job very well.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12643713, 8 years agoSo far does exactly what described. There are a few UX issues to iron out but otherwise this is great.
Of course, Firefox should include this functionality in the browser. Websites should have to ask permission or be whitelisted before setting cookies that never expire. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13251622, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Termy, 8 years agoThe new "Self Destructing Cookies" - works like a charm!
Only thing i'd like would be cloudsaves and to automatically have the domain whitelisted instead of the subdomain when using the toolbar-button. (so not "addons.mozilla.org" but "*.mozzilla.org" instead) - Rated 5 out of 5by John Golby, 8 years agoA really great replacement for Self Destructing Cookies and has appeared just in time as 95% of my addons are now classed as Legacy. Could do with a smaller icon though as the numbers are partially obstructed but hey - it works so thank you.
