I contributed UX for a 'save cookies for this site' dropdown feature in the navbar, a poc was made which looked good, but it got lost in other work and eventually didn't land in a release that I'm aware of. Shame because that one feature would make it practical to use the recommended clear cookies behavior by default except for particular sites and overall boost everyone's privacy and security because I'm pretty sure most people turn it off after getting sick of logging in. After a couple of months I went back to Firefox and hardened it making it basically the same as LF but not being a month behind in updates. I guess I'll revisit the project now


Are you aware of any browser / extension that enables this behavior? It sounds like the privacy grail for some of us.


Cookie Autodelete is probably close to what you want.

Oh, I just checked Librewolf and the feature actually is there now when you click the padlock.

`LibreWolf: Always store cookies/data for this site`

That's great, and I think I will now switch over
