- Rated 5 out of 5by Dr@g0n, 8 years agoPros:
- Works as expected.
- WebExtensions version
- Multiprocess e10s support
Cons:
No proper LocalStorage support in WebExtensions API so there is no LocalStorage cleanup for now.
Great job. Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tristan, 8 years agoThis add-on is essentially a WebExtension version of the Self Destructing Cookies add-on. Whitelist cookies you want, and the rest are deleted when they aren't being used! The only difference as of now is that the WebExtension API doesn't have proper LocalStorage support, so this add-on can't clear that yet.
Thank you SO much Kenny Do for doing this! You have no idea how much this means to me, and all the other 200,000+ users of SDC! I know a little JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS, and I was almost desperately trying to learn WebExtension so I could do a rewrite myself. I'm so glad someone smarter than me took the time to do this.
Thanks again! You're awesome!Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks buddy. It took me about 2 months even with leveraging some code of my other extension: History AutoDelete. So I'm happy that others appreciate my work. ;) - Rated 4 out of 5by Maou, 8 years agoThanks to Mozilla killing extensions season, might as well start testing web extensions...
About cookie auto delete: It does most of what I needed from a cookie manager, easy to use, light on resources.
The developer's done a good job here, no complains from my part. - Rated 5 out of 5by noname, 8 years agoi like this add on a lot, but active mode 1 minute take too long, please can make its faster

posted 8 years ago- The delay is in minutes because timers in Chrome are allowed to fire once per minute. This limitation doesn't exist with Firefox, so theoretically you could set a lower delay value by typing in .1 (which is 6 seconds) or even 0 for instant cleanup after tab close. Remember to save afterward! - Rated 4 out of 5by U64, 8 years agoA WebExtension version (in essence) of the ever-popular Self Destructing Cookies and the better-but-not-as-popular Cookies Exterminator. My only suggestion -- which is found in CE -- is a "greylist" feature, for cookies that best remain until the browser is closed. I don't like having the cookies cleared, say, every three hours (every five minutes tops), but I don't like being perma-logged in for certain things (such as email, or banks, or government pages with logins and odd redirects that are so slow that the cookies get cleaned right there and then and I get basically kicked out midway through checking and paying for my water bills THANK YOU GOVERNMENT).
Can't wait for a Fennec version once the appropriate things are ready over there (APIs, no?). - Rated 5 out of 5by Taurean, 8 years agoAn excellent replacement for Self Destructing Cookies! I was worried about when it'd stop working.
Suggestion: Please implement an option in whitelist for subdomains. - Rated 5 out of 5by ondondil, 8 years agoFinally a good replacement for SDC that is compatible with WebExtensions. Thank you!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12982714, 8 years agoTried it as a replacement for self destructing cookies (shocking isn't it?) .
Didn't work at first but after reading the description of the addon, there is a troubleshooting section which solved the problem (clear existing cookie et reset cookie preference before activating the addon). This informations should probably be repeated on the welcome page.
Afterward, works exactly as described so all in all, a good experience:) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11620514, 8 years agoIt's a nice, light alternative to SDC, but the delay option should be in seconds not minutes.
