I would do that but I want to stay logged in on some websites like lichess.
The login scene is so terrible nowadays with 2fa, passkeys etc. It's not as easy as just remembering a password or using a simple password manager.
Just whitelist the ones you want to keep. Pretty sure Firefox now let's you whitelist, I use a plug in because I've been doing it that way for years (ie before ff had the option)
Wait, foxfire does it natively now? I’ve been installing cookie autodelete for years
Deleting cookies on close? I had my Firefox set up to do that about 20 years ago
Oh. Turns out I just wasn’t looking properly
