Don’t do that. Cookie extensions ❗️Sanitizing in-session is a false sense of privacy. They do nothing for IP tracking. Even Tor Browser does not sanitize in-session e.g. when you request a new circuit. A new ID requires both full sanitizing and a new IP. The same applies to Firefox ❗️Cookie extensions can lack APIs or implementation of them to properly sanitize: e.g. ⚠️ [last checked Nov 2024], Cookie Auto Delete even instructs it’s users to disable Total Cookie Protection - ⚠️ DO NOT DO THIS ⚠️ As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection [… followed by instructions] github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions

    I don’t get it. Of course it doesn’t help with IP tracking of fingerprinting, but it deletes all cookies when I leave a site. My browsers runs very long on desktop and mobile, so Firefox’s ‘Delete cookies on close’ doesn’t help much.
