Cookie management is now handled by firefox natively. In your FF browser bar, go to
about:preferences#privacy
and choose Strict. Then you can remove AutoCookie Delete extension. If you want to know more, find the the Firefox blog posts about Total Cookie Protection. There are multiple posts on the topic.Edit: If you want to be super intense, you can also check the box, "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" although that isn't strictly necessary if your ETP is set to strict.
I will add, Librewolf (a firefox fork) auto deletes cookies by default
You gotta read the blog posts my dude. I'm not going to type it all out for you.
It just says not everything is supported by those extensions. I use Cookie Auto Delete to log me out automatically out of youtube and stuff. Firefox alone can't do that.
Mine does. There's a setting to clear all cookies on close. I have to log back into everything every time. Never needed an extension for that.
Yes but Auto Cookie Delete does that on tab close. No need to close the entire browser.
Fair. But I'm okay with it only happening when I close the browser.
It can. Just use the built-in containers.
Nice, thanks.
