Self-Destructing Cookies Add-On for Edge: Maintain Privacy

'Self-Destructing Cookies' is an Edge add-on designed to bolster privacy by eliminating cookies once a browser session or tab is closed. It offers 'session' and 'tabs' modes for cookie management per domain. This plug-in does not currently support the removal of 'window.localStorage'. It's a practical tool for users conscious about their online privacy and desiring to minimize tracking.

EXCELENTE

I love it. This add-on perfectly functions as intended. It's CPU friendly since it uses the Edge extension's UI to perform actions. The logo is aesthetically designed.You can whitelist hostnames, domains and websites by right-clicking the extension. I just wish it could clear the site's local storage but other than that it's amazing.
