Self-Destructing Cookies Add-On for Edge: Maintain Privacy

'Self-Destructing Cookies' is an Edge add-on designed to bolster privacy by eliminating cookies once a browser session or tab is closed. It offers 'session' and 'tabs' modes for cookie management per domain. This plug-in does not currently support the removal of 'window.localStorage'. It's a practical tool for users conscious about their online privacy and desiring to minimize tracking.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

This 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!

I love it. This add-on perfectly functions as intended. It's CPU friendly since it uses the Edge extension's UI to perform actions. The logo is aesthetically designed.You can whitelist hostnames, domains and websites by right-clicking the extension. I just wish it could clear the site's local storage but other than that it's amazing.
