"Self-Destructing Cookies" is an extension for Firefox that automatically deletes cookies 30 seconds after you close the last tab associated with a site, unless you put it on a whitelist.
It is the most sensible and useful policy I have ever seen. Sadly, it can't be done as an extension in the new Firefox model.
- themagicteeth 9y agoYes it can see here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode... The only thing it can't do yet is delete local storage due to the API not being implemented.
- squarefoot 9y agoyou may want to take a look at Palemoon. https://www.palemoon.org/ https://www.palemoon.org/ https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/crush-those-cookies/ https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/crush-those-cookies/ https://addons.palemoon.org/incompatible/ https://addons.palemoon.org/incompatible/
- bigbugbag 9y agoPale Moon is lacking security wise, maybe waterfox is a more suitable alternative. Also Waterfox author plans to fund a startup to fork the firefox to support XUL and go from there: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/13/waterfox-dev-has-big-plans-for-the-browser/ https://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/13/waterfox-dev-has-big-plans...
- squarefoot 9y agoThanks for the info, I never heard about that project before.

- hansjorg 9y agoThat one looks great, it even supports the new container tabs with per container whitelists.
