I’ve been using Cookie AutoDelete for that purpose for the last few years. It works flawlessly for me and brings me comfort in knowing that I am only being trac

  I do the same! The whitelisting is the best part, since now i can stay logged in to sites that i trust not to track me.

  Same, I absolutely love this extension. You can whitelist the websites you use frequently, and for everything else it's like a groundhog day every day. The cookie banners can be super annoying sometimes, but they are easily removed with uBlock Origin. I also frequently have to solve captchas, but it's not so bad. For example, every time I visit amazon.com to order toilet paper or whatever, it thinks I'm a bot, but at least amazon's captchas are less annoying than some of the others.

    A bot with a bowel apparently.

    If you go to Amazon a lot why not whitelist?
    • worble 4y ago
      I personally wouldn't whitelist any site that has my card details saved.

      One of the last companies I'd whitelist.

    Pair it with "I don't care about cookies". This one clicks Accept on all cookie banners, and Cookie AutoDelete deletes them when the tab is closed. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-a...

      This is great, thanks P. S. If I'm using a separate Firefox container just for Amazon, they would isolate my Amazon cookie right? So then I could just whitelist it and avoid capchas?
      • xahrepap 4y ago
        Yes. Each Firefox container has its own cookies.

      Users who do not auto-delete are better served with Consent-O-Matic, this one clicks Deny on all cookie banners and forms by default, but is configurable. • https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/ • https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic

  Came here to mention this. This is is probably the most useful extension for preserving privacy while also not breaking things. Sites can store all the cookies they want now, but a few minutes after the tab goes away it's like we never met. Very nice.

    Isn’t that literally what private mode is? It’s a built in feature I thought.
• ac29 4y ago
  One thing worth noting: at least when I installed it, the auto clean functionality (the bit that actually removes the cookie/etc data) is disabled by default. This means it needs configuration to actually do anything aside from manual cleaning.
  • duskwuff 4y ago
    The alternative would be that installing the extension immediately wipes all of your cookies, local storage, and other local data. Most users probably don't want this.
• whiplash451 4y ago
  How robust is that against server-side storage of user data?

  Isn’t that essentially what private browsing is? I tend it just always use private mode in safari.
