Forget Me Not - Forget cookies & other data by Lusito
Review by Styris
Rated 2 out of 5
by Styris, 3 years agoConcept it good, but practically it's a different thing. Fails on few scenarios and doesn't delete cookies as often as intended.
Let's say, you want to delete all cookies automatically on startup, except the ones you mention as "Never". But on startup, those unnecessary cookies are not deleted! Why? Because, selecting "On Startup" or "Leave" will not delete cookies automatically for all intended sites. You have to still visit each website and apply "on Startup" or "Leave" for each individual website and then only it gets deleted on startup. Pretty pointless.
Try to work around this, so that, cookies get deleted automatically (except the ones you mention as "Never") without having to visit each and every website and apply individual options.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Norio1, 6 months agoThis is an excellent add-on. It automatically deletes cookies that I don't mark for saving. Since using this software, I no longer get "personalized" ads and other BS indicating I am being tracked across sites. For those of you who claim it doesn't work, delete all your cookies, once, through the Firefox interface for managing data. From that time on, you'll see that your cookies for a site will stay active until you close the tab(s) for that site. After closing the tab(s), depending on how you set it up, Forget Me Not will delete the cookies for that site after a delay, or immediately. You will see that you cookie list consists only of those you allow.

- Rated 3 out of 5by firedoge, 2 years agoI think this is not nessecary on Desktop, the "Data protection-Cookies and Website data - Manage exceptions" should deal with that.
Essential on mobile, to delete all cookies apart from selected sites. I integrated it to my custom addon collection
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/collections/17446767/Fenix-Addons/
it works pretty great! The UI is usable although a little small, and Addons are able to modify cookies and site data on Firefox Mobile.
A mobile interface with bigger buttons would be great.
I will ask the developers to add the addon among others to the official list. - Rated 5 out of 5by av, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by HKJunkie, 2 years agoProblem is - it does not delete any cookies. After enabling on-leaving for the domain, and closing the tab. And exiting the browser. And again closing the tab. The cookies, per Mozilla, all 10 of them from the domain are STILL THERE. Makes this useless.
