troch Rick, 6 jierren lynWhy can't this extension honor my settings?
My setup is Block All Cookies, Enable First Party isolation, use some Containers for some sites that i use a lot and Set Cookies for Some Sites that need cookies but that i don't use that often to Allow for Session.
i DID-(before i disabled it) have cookie auto delete set to not enable container support, and it wouldn't touch the Containers, which was perfect, And i was hoping cookie auto delete would delete the cookies that i set "Allow for Session" so Firefox wouldn't have to be Restarted for them to get deleted. BUT i noticed every site was getting cookies deleted, then i saw "You must enable cookies in the browser as this extension will replace the internal cookie manager."
Well first, i didn't Enable cookies, and Cookie Auto Delete didn't honor MY Settings and Enabled cookies automatically, which isn't the right thing to do. "You must enable cookies in the browser", well i never Enabled cookies in the browser, but cookie auto delete did.
The wording should read "Cookie Auto Delete WILL enable cookies in the browser automatically as this extension will replace the internal cookie manager.
Second, Can and Will cookie auto delete ever honor my settings and let me Block All Cookies and just delete the cookies that i have set to Allow for Session?
To me that would make cookie auto delete Perfect in my opinion. And i could probably give it only a 4 star rating for these 2 shortcomings, but i won't as one issue is a Wording issue and maybe cookie auto delete should ask before Enabling cookies, but i don't think it's that big of a deal since it needs cookies to delete. Fixing the wording pretty much solves that issue and asking to enable cookies before doing it would go the extra mile.
And the second issue, maybe can't be done, i don't know, But i would think that Blocking All Cookies, Honoring that Setting and just Deleting the cookies that are set to Allow for Session is possible.
i hope this is possible and will be added to cookie auto delete. i would appreciate these being addressed and looking forward to a reply from the CAD Team.
Thanks in advance and all you do for us browser users.
Before i submitted this review, i just thought that i haven't tested this Block All Cookies and cookie auto delete Deleting just the Allow for Session cookies in my Ungoogled Chromium and Brave Browsers.
i probably won't test this for a few days. if you know that would be great.
Thanks again and sorry for the long review but i was trying to be explain and be as thorough as possible.

6 jierren lyn pleatstWe cannot simply have read-only access to certain browser settings like global cookie behaviours, unless we request for the privacy API, which allows read AND write of certain settings. We only recently implemented a workaround for the detection of firstPartyIsolation that removes the privacy API permission request.
In any case if you disable the cookies then you probably wouldn't need this extension in the first place. We don't enable anything on our own (with the exception of containers as by default any extension that requests the 'contextualidentities' API automatically forces Firefox to enable it (this is a browser 'feature') and this permission cannot be made optional yet).
That being said, however, if you did enable any of the 'other browsing data' cleanup options, then we would create our OWN internal cookie for it. This goes through the Cookie API so I suppose that bypasses whatever you have set (maybe it is a Firefox 'feature')? The reason, as mentioned many times as well as in documentation, is that only cookies can be enumerated for domains, while the other browsing site data types either require that we already know the domain to clean beforehand, or a specific timeframe to remove the data from (e.g. An hour ago, a day ago, all) which is not what this extension does so that is out of the question.
We cannot access the browser internal cookie manager (the one for block/allow for session) as there is no API for it (at least on Firefox) so you'll still need to manually configure the expression through our extension, otherwise the default behaviour of removing cookie(s) if no other tabs with that domain is open will apply. With our own internal cookie being cleaned it then triggers the cleanup for the other browsing types.
This is better off as a support issue as it allows for better commenting and discussion without having to edit the original post much.
Please open a support issue through our GitHub repo for discussion.

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch ebayybe, ien moanne lynI’ve been looking for an extension that gives flexible control over cookies, and Cookie AutoDelete is a perfect match. I whitelisted the sites where I need to stay logged in (emails, social media), and all the other tracking garbage gets deleted automatically when tabs close. No more clogged browser cache. 5 stars!

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Alphonse, ien moanne lynDoes what it says and also clears out local storage (sometimes websites use in lieu of cookies) for all websites by default. Setting up per-site/domain exceptions is a two-click process. You can turn off the cleanup notifications if they become annoying.

A good successor is "Auto-Clear Site Data" by byuserforuser

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch kr33pt0, 3 moannen lynThis is one of my favorite MUST HAVE extensions... I use it together with FireFox Containers - it's fully compatible.
So it remembers my preferences per container... Random cookies don't stand a chance. The ones I want remembered stay remembered. Just make sure you set it up right. Read their warning about new versions of FireFox and set it accordingly. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Vamone, 3 moannen lynDoes not work......... No blacklist. No setting to delete everything by default unless whitelisted. wtf is this garbage?
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 18157935, 4 moannen lynWhen using machines, and or Win OS that are not the very latest Ex: Windows 10 or below (This may incl. Win 11- Which I don't use) and or if the internet cache is insufficient to workload, esp during long sessions, many sites, (ie: social media, streams etc) can become sluggish, or misbehave in various ways depending on the factors mentioned above. CAD has been VERY helpful to Me, when cleaning the cache, fixes certain cookie accumulation that can hinder optimum functionality.
This extension is excellent when: Configured & compatible with the host device, OS vers, browser settings, running apps/ext. and when used properly, for that which it is specifically designed.
NOTE: It is IMPERATIVE to learn and understand ALL the settings, options and to utilize them correctly. Customize them as per your personal needs. Failure to do this could result in a less then ideal or a negative experience of this fine, useful extension. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Mot, 5 moannen lyn

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch richmoz, 7 moannen lynUnfortunately no longer works. Says it deleted cookies but the cookies are still there, very deceiving. GitHub Issues ignored, project dead.
What a shame, this is a much needed extension. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Dzluck, 7 moannen lyn

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 19506450, 8 moannen lynThis addon is no longer auto deleting cookies that aren't whitelisted. And it seems a number of cookie managers are now suffering the same issue, WTF Mozilla can't add this as a standard features to FF is beyond me.
