by Francewhoa, 7 years agoSummary:
Love it. Easy. Automated. Confusing Blue Color.
Strength:
• Open source. If you are not familiar with "open source", it means this app is more secure. Because its code is publicly available for review and contributions on GitHub at https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete
• Attractive MIT License. This means the software code of this add-on app is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. And more secure because its full code is publicly available for review.
• Easy to use. Using the button in the browser toolbar.
• Whitelist cookies. Very easy. Two clicks to whitelist a website.
• Frequent add-on updates
• “Automatic Cleaning” allow you to optionally automatically delete cookies from closed tabs after a set delay
• Export or import your whitelist of cookies expressions/rules
• Well documented
• Works with Firefox 52 or more recent
• Available for both Firefox/Tor Browser and Chromium/Chrome
_____• https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
_____• https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-autodelete/fhcgjolkccmbidfldomjliifgaodjagh
• Internationalization (i18n)
• Many more features
Challenge:
• The color of the toolbar icon for whitelisted websites is blue. Which is confusing at start. Because for most extensions the color green is use for whitelisted websites. But after this initial learning curve, the user interface works fine.
• Can not edit cookies. But this can be done with other extensions which focused on software engineer and testing.
Using:
• Extension 2.2.0
• Firefox 52 (64-bit)
• Tor Browser 52 (64-bit)
• Debian 8 Jessie 64-bit
• GNOME 3.14.1

- Rated 2 out of 5by Camilo, 8 days agoThis was probably a good extension as of the last update (3 years ago). Now it's abandoned, unmantained, obsolete and maybe even dangerous.
The list of domains has a terrible layout with misplaced scrollbars, very difficult to navigate.
It also requires the following two flags:
* privacy.userContext.enabled
* privacy.userContext.ui.enabled
that I cannot remove in order to disable the useless "container tabs" feature. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13877502, 15 days agoAutocleaning stopped working correctly, cookies are not deleted

- Rated 3 out of 5by Stelioss, 2 months agoDoesn't reliably clean all cookies. With auto cleaning and cleanup on domain change options enabled, i often find non-white listed cookies left behind, long after the 15 seconds time limit and even after restart.
The UI is very convoluted. I appreciate the right-click entry that allows you to whitelist websites while there, but setting up the options of the addon is a mess. Perhaps a novice/expert UI option would help with that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Olivier, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by mann, 3 months agoNo longer works reliably: Some cookies are still deleted, but most remain. Annoying if you rely on this function and end up with your pants down because of it!
