How can I efficiently delete all cookies, continuously, except certain session cookies in certain specific containers ? (lemmy.ml)

I need fine grained, automated cookie controls I have tried these addons

Cookie Manager Cookie Quick Manager Cookie AutoDelete

And the problem is always the same.

It is TOO DIFFICULT to only have one exception for one cookie in one account container

Creating containers for every single website is also extremely tedious and buggy.

And deleting all cookies all the time, means I am re-logging in into everything all the time, often a 5 to 10 step process not counting 2 factor and it is VERY annoying

Hi, I try to have something a bit like you.

I use temporary-containers with the firefox multi-account-containers and it's working pretty well!

And of course I delete cookies when a container is close.

Hope that’s help :)

And this allows you to keep the session cookies only, only in the specified containers, even after restarting the browser ? If so can you explain how you keep the session cookies and how did you create per-container per-cookie whitelist to preserve only the session cookies or a single website ?

Hi, actually I don't think that's possible!

But I see that you have a lot of answers :)

It seems that cookie autodelete will do it, per cookie and per container, still in the trial phase but it looks like it's going to work !

What about the new profile feature being rolled out with 138, profile for each of sites different login.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have 138.0.3, have not seen that in my logins

It's a slow role out, I believe it's supposed to be available to everyone by end of may. But I do believe it can be turned on in the about:config page. Not sure what the command is though
