Self-Destructing Cookies Extension

This extension aims to bring \"Self-Destructing Cookies\" extension written by \"Ove\" to Chromium browsers. The extension supports two modes to deal with cookies:

1. \"session\" mode: delete cookies once the current session is closed (all browser windows are closed).
2. \"tabs\" mode: delete cookies related to the current tab once the tab is closed and there are no other tabs of the same domain.

Example: Let's say you are logged-in into your email account:
In \"session\" mode, you will be logged-in until all browser tabs are closed.
In \"tabs\" mode, you will be logged-out once all email tabs are closed. So if you have two email tabs opened and still one tab is open, you are still logged-in. Once the other tab is closed, you will get logged-out

Note: the extension does not support cleaning \"window.localStorage\" at this moment. I will work on that later!

Flicsmo (ID: 000000c780bea7cf) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/25/2024 Finally, a simple extension that does what I want it to - clear cookies on closing browser, with a whitelist that's easy to add to. I wish there was an option to have left clicking the icon add/remove from whitelist instead of turning the whole extension on/off, but otherwise it does its job perfectly. edit - unfortunately, at some point since posting this review, session mode has stopped working. Tab mode still works though.

Rezwan Haque (ID: 000000b0cba9f48f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/04/2022 I do not think..this extension works...

Graham Pearce (ID: 000000c2bbb38124) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/07/2020 This extension causes the entire Chrome browser to constantly get logged out of my Google account, because anytime I close a tab from any Google-related domain or subdomain that I have not yet added specifically to the whitelist, it wipes out my Google login altogether. At this point I would rather have a blacklist mode, where only sites I add to the list have their cookies removed (either that or a more robust rules/wildcard system for included or excluded domains.) I really only need this for removing article-limit paywalls on a handful of sites, and I'd rather only have those cookies deleted than have to deal with tracking down every possible Google subdomain to avoid getting logged out.

Gowron Martok (ID: 0000007a6ff45e88) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/10/2019 This is the only really thing that works for me. I use it on all browsers. THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!

Chris Jenks (ID: 000000ac12acdbc5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/10/2018 Currently does not handle sub-domains very well, in tab mode. Closing a tab with www.domain.com also destroys the cookies for other.domain.com, even though other tabs for the domain are open. Has potential, I'll up the stars when problem I'm having are fixed.
