Cookie-AutoDelete VS bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea

You could use the Cookie Auto Delete browser extension if you want to automatically delete cookies: https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies does reject non-technical cookies – as much as it can – but https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete will do the rest.

I use the extension Cookie-AutoDelete and it's working pretty well, but recently I saw that you can now whitelist and blacklist sites from cookie storing directly in the Chrome settings. Did anybody play around with this, is it as good as the extension, any shortcomings?

Have you made any CSSs modifications? If not, report the problem here.

Maybe look at Cookie AutoDelete. It does not do exactly what you want but more lets you keep the cookies you want (or need) for particular sites and then deletes everything else when you leave a site or at a specific time frame

https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/wiki/Documentation does the job. It doesn't work on Firefox mobile, but your writing about Edge & Chrome suggests you're on PC anyway.

Yes it can.

Another article from the Wall Street Journal. How to get rid of the paywall? This extension works (there is a Chrome version too):

In the case of WSJ, these two little things will bypass the paywall:

1) use "https://www.drudgereport.com/" as the Referer for "www.wsj.com"

2) block the cookies

I'm using a proxy server that allows me to do this so I don't need the extension.

This extension is asking for a lot of permissions it shouldn't ask for

If you want an alternative that only requests permissions for sites with paywalls, this one is better: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...

Firefox with strict Enhanced Tracking Protection.

uBlock Origin with all available filter lists enabled (except the one for Mobile pages, if you're on dekstop).

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies to reject all tracking consent requests.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... for subdomains you want to log into but still want to access the main and other domains without being connected. For instance, I have it set always open mail.google.com in the Work container so that I can log into Gmail but still search google.com, navigate google.com/maps (etc) outside the work account.

Then, install https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete and set it to delete all data from all domains expect the ones you want to stay logged into (Google for instance… but only inside the Work container mentioned above). Then, all websites data (including cookies) will be auto-deleted a few seconds after your close all tabs from that domain. You have to enable the auto-cleaning and support for containers.

You can tweak a few more things but that should be enough.

I also recommend the awesome https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea... add-on but only for users who support some media financially. It's fine to workaround paywalls (such a bad system) but good journalists still needs to be paid somehow.
