Self-Destructing Cookies (WebEx)
Delete cookies when browser is closed or once the tab is closed to prevent possible trackings (similar to Ove's Self-Destructing Cookies which is not compatible with FF57 anymore)
Self-Destructing Cookies (WebEx) for FF57+ - Privacy Enhanced
Self-Destructing Cookies (WebEx) is a Firefox extension that resurrects the features of Ove's classic Self-Destructing Cookies for FF 57+. This tool provides better privacy by erasing cookies following the closure of a tab or browser session. It functions in 'session' mode (where cookies are removed post-session) and 'tabs' mode (where cookies attached to a specific tab are erased when it's closed, given no other tabs from the same domain are open). Currently does not support localStorage—but stay tuned!
