[QUOTE="Amahl Farouk, post: 925539, member: 90324"] What are your thoughts? I am using a DNS-based filter to catch most prevalent privacy offenders and have a second layer at the browser level (Cookie Autodelete with everything enabled - 1 second cleanup) to clear everything for random surfing and just whitelisting websites that I use frequently. Are there any privacy benefits compared to using the Edge built-in clear on exit for cache+cookies (again with whitelist)? A few years ago when I was using Firefox, there was a Auto-container plugin that isolated cookies and storage, but from what I understand chromium-based browsers still have a some work to do in regard to cookie isolation by default. My concern would be malicious javascript that could track history based on storage+cookies and worst-case would be cookie hijackers. Haven't done too much research into how the browser isolated/protects these features but I am curious about you're opinions and setups that you use. Any feedback is appreciated. :emoji_beer: [/QUOTE]
