Yes, Google Chrome allows you to clear cookies on exit with exceptions. You can set this up in the browser's privacy and security settings.

How to create the exception in Google Chrome?
In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. Under "Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chrome," click "Add" next to "Sites that can always use cookies." Enter the site and click "Add."

Is this a new feature in Google Chrome?

Is this the same as using Cookie AutoDelete extension?
Not exactly. The Cookie AutoDelete extension provides more advanced features like automatic cleaning of unused cookies, whitelisting, and greylisting. Chrome's built-in feature mainly allows you to set exceptions for certain sites when clearing cookies on exit.

I just use Cookie AutoDelete for this and I set it to delete cookies as soon as I leave websites that aren't on my whitelist. Works like magic!

I'd also advise against using unpopular browsers because of irregular update schedule, meaning you're being more prone to hackers exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities.

Which less popular browsers do you suggest, if any as safer? Personally I think brave is one and i may start using it again now that it can be debloated…

Definitely Firefox and Brave. I really wouldn't look at the others. Firefox gets bonus points from me because it's EXTREMELY customizable.
