I use Cookie AutoDelete (I use only Firefox, but that is irrelevant in this context.) Deleting all cookies (one could also use white^Hallow lists) works 98% fine. The problem is local storage. Pages can store the same (and more) information as in cookies in local storage. There is no add-on API to manipulate local storage. At the moment only an estimated 2% of all web sites use local storage to store tracking information. But if cookies get widely ignored/deleted, I am sure that will change.
- afwe 6y agoI share your concern, but CAD has claimed to be able to wipe localStorage, IndexedDB and Service Workers for some time (a few months?). Check the settings screen of CAD and see for yourself.
- throwaway2048 6y agoCookie autodelete can also delete LocalStorage, at least on firefox. https://imgur.com/cPDJW3v.png https://imgur.com/cPDJW3v.png
- usr1106 6y agoI stand corrected, there is some support. It is not container-aware and no allow lists are possible. Everything gets deleted. Probably because of these limitations it's off by default. I seemed to have remembered some older arguments in this discussion: https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/issues/44 https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/issue...
- throwaway2048 6y agoeverything gets deleted when you first enable it, its still site specific afterwards https://imgur.com/vmnozjV.png https://imgur.com/vmnozjV.png
