On that note, can anyone recommend an advanced cookie-manager for Firefox that allows you to accept cookies from soft paywall sites, but delete them when the browser closes?
Count me as another vote for Cookie AutoDelete. It does exactly what you want for cookies and some forms of storage that can be (mis)used for “supercookies.”
Note, however, that CAD alone isn’t enough. Firefox’s premature switch to the webextensions API left it without an API call to clean indexeddb on a per-site basis. The author of CAD is aware of this and waiting impatiently for Firefox to implement the needed API call. In the meantime, you can use StorageRazor to nuke the entirety of indexeddb on Firefox startup.
I’d also recommend:
- uMatrix (this is the single most important piece of security/privacy protecting code in existence)
- uBlock Origin (to work in tandem with uMatrix, disable lists in uBlock that uMatrix is blocking anyway)
- CanvasBlocker
- Decentraleyes
- History AutoDelete
- Https Everywhere
- Smart Referrer
(Also, please stop it with the flogging of insecure shovelware.)
