Delete cookies when browser is closed or once the tab is closed to prevent tracking
Self-Destructing Cookies Extension
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!
