It looks as if in the next several months Firefox will become all but invisible from most 3rd party trackers as Firefox ”will strip cookies and block storage access from third-party tracking content, based on lists of tracking domains by Disconnect.” [1]
The full list of trackers that will be blocked by default is substantial. [2]
I have a very limited set of domains (manually) allowed to save cookie data in Firefox pas when a session ends. With everything else supposed to be auto deleted after the session ends ("Keep until: 'I close Firefox'").
Invariably though, after a week or so there are quite a few cookies saved for other domains anyway, which Firefox has decided for some unknown reason it's going to keep regardless. Without any explanation of why it's done so. Grrrr.
While manually clearing those out works, it doesn't seem like the current code base is working as intended.
