I'm working on a browser extension called Baitblock: https://baitblock.app/ https://baitblock.app/ It also deals with 1st party cookie tracking. It clears cookie/storage on every page load as long as it detects that you're not logged in to the website (still buggy) using machine learning (NLP). The next minor version (under development) will also allow you to block websites/domains from appearing from google search results, facebook feed, twitter feed and basically the entire internet. It also blocks cookie/gdpr banners on websites. (Signup on mobile does not work for now) You can also add summaries/TL;DR for any link on the internet (right click) so others dont have to click.

For people that are fine with a manual whitelist there's also Cookie Autodelete: https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete. It removes all cookies when you navigate away from a website after a (customizeable) grace period. Usually this works fine, you just need to be careful when you tell it to erase cookies when the domain changes (rather than when the tab closes), some 2-step sign in procedures need the cookies from the original webpage to work.

  Which doesn't save you from banners stretching around 50% of a given site urging you to accept their cookie policy.

I want a browser that allows first-party cookies, but auto-expires them if I don't visit the domain for an hour. It should also only allow one level of requests (i.e. if a site requests a resource, that resource cannot request additional resources from other domains). The latter part won't prevent bad behavior, but it will force that behavior to be proxied -- which carries technical, financial and legal implications that will cause companies to be more careful about their downstream redirects.
