About Self-Destructing Cookies

This extension aims to bring "Self-Destructing Cookies" extension written by "Ove" to Chromium browsers. The extension supports two modes to deal with cookies: 1. "session" mode: delete cookies once the current session is closed (all browser windows are closed). 2. "tabs" mode: delete cookies related to the current tab once the tab is closed and there are no other tabs of the same domain. Extra Features: This extension lets you create an exception list for individual hostnames or entire domains including all their subdomains. You can add one or multiple sites either via the right-click context menu or through the options page. It uses the flexible "URLPattern" system, allowing custom patterns to prevent cookie deletion. Additionally, the extension lets you delete all cookies for the current page or all cookies across the browser. This option is available from the right-click menu and works even if the extension is temporarily disabled by left-clicking the action button. Example: Let's say you are logged-in into your email account: In "session" mode, you will be logged-in until all browser tabs are closed. In "tabs" mode, you will be logged-out once all email tabs are closed. So if you have two email tabs opened and still one tab is open, you are still logged-in. Once the other tab is closed, you will get logged-out Note: the extension does not support cleaning "window.localStorage" at this moment. I will work on that later!
