Hi all,

I found this interesting extension, avalaible for Firefox and Firefox-based browsers and Chrome and Chrome-based browsers, which can help us to destroy cookies and protects against trackers.

Original description:

Get rid of a site's cookies as soon as you close its tabs. Protects against trackers and zombie-cookies. Trustworthy services can be whitelisted.

Is it any different than the Cookie AutoDelete extension?

It seems to have the ability to allow 3rd party cookies on per site basis in the whitelist.

ok...but in most cases 3rd party cookies ain't needed. Ain't it?
Btw, except that is there any difference? what about compatibility? Is there any conflict between
Self Destroying Cookies & other popular extensions?

You can also disable 3rd party cookies in some browsers, for example in Chrome, to add more protection.

yeah.Chromium-based every browser has that option at least those which I do use i.e. Opera,Yandex,Vivaldi,Brave. even in firefox. tbh firefox has better option to get optimized for privacy.

That depends, what webpages. My bank does not work without them and everytime I blocked them, it broke webpages.
That's sad. But most of the websites run smoothly with 3rd party cookies unless there is unique feature which exclusively depends upon 3rd party.

Although, my point wasn't that when I said, "but in most cases 3rd party cookies ain't needed."
