Try using the extension "I don't care about cookies"

It's excellent. I have needed to disable it occasionally to make basic site functionality work on some sites that I absolutely need to use, though I'm forgetting which ones.

ICYMI: That extension was bought up by Avast.

I've used Cookie AutoDelete. It was good. Is "I don't care about cookies better"? If so, how?

> Cookie AutoDelete

Don't bother with this extension as it can't delete other storage locations where there is persistant storage. Also Firefox has TCP, Total Cookie Protection so you don't need them anyway.

Better to just sanitize on close https://www.privacyguides.org/desktop-browsers/#sanitize-on-... and maybe keep history.

If you want to keep persistent logins then whitelist those specific cookies to those specific sites or use a password manager.

I'm not sure if Cookie AutoDelete hides or auto-accepts cookie popups, but that was the main motivation for using "I don't care about cookies" -- I don't want to see all these ridiculous cookie notices on every site I visit.
