A WebExtension version (in essence) of the ever-popular Self Destructing Cookies and the better-but-not-as-popular Cookies Exterminator. My only suggestion -- which is found in CE -- is a "greylist" feature, for cookies that best remain until the browser is closed. I don't like having the cookies cleared, say, every three hours (every five minutes tops), but I don't like being perma-logged in for certain things (such as email, or banks, or government pages with logins and odd redirects that are so slow that the cookies get cleaned right there and then and I get basically kicked out midway through checking and paying for my water bills THANK YOU GOVERNMENT).

Can't wait for a Fennec version once the appropriate things are ready over there (APIs, no?).

    Needs a blacklist mode.

    One of the essential plugins for anonymity. This allows you to control cookies. Firefox have some protection built in but this gives you much more control with whitelists etc just 2 clicks away if you need it which makes it a must to those that want some level of anonymity while surfing the net.

    Really useful extension for keeping cookies under control without having to think about it. It automatically deletes cookies from closed tabs while keeping the ones you trust. I like that it supports containers and gives you options to keep cookies temporarily or permanently. It helps keep browsing clean and private, and it’s easy to manage with clear settings. Perfect for anyone who wants better privacy and less tracking without constantly clearing cookies manually.

    Recently I've found that all cookies I have are really from the URL (websites) I visit, not with weird names like 000adv.net as before. So, I conclude that this app works well!

    This 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.

    Doesn'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.

    No clue how to use this over-engineered extension. The UI is baffling.

    No 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!
