I don't know, I have an extension that refuses cookies.
This makes life safer and easier.
What is this extension? I want it for android on firefox and windows old version on firefox. Hopefully linux soon.
"Consent-O-Matic" or, if you don't care about whether cookies are refused or not and just want the stupid banners gone, "I still don't care about cookies"
Cookie AutoDelete is good on the desktop. It can delete cookies when you quit Firefox, when you switch to another domain, when you close a tab... It's fun.
deleting cookies on close, with exceptios for sites, is a feature that is build into firefox, no need for an extension
if you use librewolf there even is a small toggle for keeping cookies so you don't have to visit the settings every time you want a new site to remember you
Cookie AutoDelete can do that for specific web sites that you choose in a white/black list. I always allow PieFed even when I restart, Google is in the default black list.
as i said, if you use the whitelist and don't need cookie deletion on tab close, there is no need for an extension
i used cookie autodelete too until i discovered this feature
