Use a vpn with a Eu server. More sites like google will show a cookie popup with the “reject all cookies” option.
Reject all cookies if it exists. Otherwise accept cookies and then click on the :
shield icon > cookies and site data > delete (trash icon)
This is super useful when you want to read an article on some news website and it shows a cookie popup.
There are so few sites that should leave a cookie I just set it to purge everything on browser close, and then make exceptions for the ones who actually should leave a cookie.
Pretty sure every browser now has the option to dump all the data when it closes.
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 doesn’t natively now? I’ve been installing cookie autodelete for years
Use two browsers. One for logins, the other dumps all data on close.
I use Waterfox which forgets all data on exit, with Privacy Badger and Port Authority extensions with no exclusions.
So far, no sites really “break”, if anything, they’re a little quicker… reading mode is nice to get passed paywall popups on most sites that want a subscribe.
If at work, I include the company-provided password manager for all my sites I need. Still works well (unless my post gets attention and companies try to break it)
