That sounds similar to Self-Destructing Cookies[1], which I'm using. Has anyone tried both and can compare them?

The advantage of selfdestructingcookies is that, without any intervention, it allows cookies while the site that set them is open in a tab, but once the tab is closed the cookies are promptly deleted (configurable delay).

Same with Vanilla cookie manager on Chrome, except I don't think it deletes localstorage, flash cookies, etc because of limitations of Chrome's api for extensions. I think the attitude with Chrome is that you're supposed to use Incognito windows for this purpose.


I've been using Self-Destructing along with BetterPrivacy[1] which handles LSO (Flash cookies) that are usually not available in the browser
