Cookie AutoDelete

Control your cookies! This extension is inspired by Self-Destructing Cookies. When a tab closes, any cookies not being used are automatically deleted. Prevent tracking by other cookies and add only the ones you trust. Easily import and export your cookie whitelist.

Main features

  • Automatically deletes cookies from closed tabs
  • Whitelist/Greylist support for cookies
  • Easily export/import your configurations
  • Clear all cookies for a domain
  • Supports manual mode cleaning from the popup
  • Easily see the number of cookies for a site
  • Support for Container Tabs (Firefox 53+ only)

Usage

  1. Add the sites you want to keep cookies for to the whitelist (permanently) or greylist (until browser restart)
  2. Enable "Automatic Cleaning" in settings or "Auto-Clean" in popup
  3. Watch those unused cookies disappear :)

Installation

via Official Channels

via Self Installation

Please keep in mind that at this time only Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome (as well as its development branches e.g. Developer Edition, Canary) will be supported.
Microsoft Edge Chromium will be considered partially official as it is using the same code as Google Chrome for now. While you may be able to install this extension on other browsers (i.e. Varations of Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Android), there will be no official support from the authors and maintainers through Github Discussions and/or Issues.

  • npm run build - Builds the Firefox (.xpi/.zip) and Chrome (.zip) builds

Testing
