Cookie AutoDelete Extension

Main Features
- Auto Deletes Site Data from Closed Tabs
- WhiteList/GreyList Support
- Easily Export/Import your Whitelist/Greylist
- Clear Site Data for a Domain
- Supports Manual Mode Cleaning from the popup

Usage
This extension does not clean data automatically until you enable \"Auto-clean\". This gives you the chance to add sites to the WhiteList.

1. Add the sites you want to keep site data in the WhiteList (permanently) or GreyList (until Browser restart)
2. Toggle \"Auto-clean\" in the popup or \"Automatic cleaning\" in the settings
3. Watch those unused site data disappear :)

You can disable Cleanup Notifications via the Settings.

Note: Site Data are Cookies, IndexedDB, Localstorage, etc. Support for clearing these is dependent on the Browser APIs and the extension implementation. (e.g. Cache and Cache Storage are NOT the same things - we can currently clean Cache, but Cache Storage cleanup is not implemented yet).

If you have any other problem, create an issue or support through our GitHub repository. Maybe we can work it out. Note that support may not be available for variants of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Flicsmo (ID: 000000c780bea7cf) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/25/2024 Powerful, but extremely unintuitive. Everything in settings is phrased confusingly and never seems to do what you expect. Even reading the github documentation (which is linked in settings in lieu of explanations) won't necessarily clear things up as some settings are lacking documentation entirely. Still, it's the only extension I've been able to find that supports clearing cookies on browser restart, and behind the layer of frustrating UX it has a lot of nice customization options and features.
