Feature Request: Less Clicks for Manual Clean-Up #187

Open Copyrites opened 4 years ago

Copyrites commented 4 years ago

I would like to request a UI change to make manual clean-up require less clicks and less mouse movement.

The reason for my request is that I am in the habit of manually wiping cookies very frequently, so the less effort the better. The delete-cookies-on-domain-leave function isn't always enough because I tend to leave tabs open for extended periods of time.

There are some extensions that put a single button on the toolbar that immediately wipes cookies/cache/etc but I'd like to use forget-me-not's whitelisting rules.

Just brainstorming some ideas:

  1. Put an icon where the "about" flower icon is currently that would immediately do a cookie clean. Right now the flower is usually right below the actual toolbar button so that would mean the least amount of mouse movement.

  2. An option (disabled by default so it won't surprise people) that makes double (or triple?) clicking the toolbar button initiate a cookie clean. I don't even know if firefox notifies an extension when its button gets clicked.

Also, I'd just like to thank you for this great extension. Your white-listing rules, especially on a per-cookie basis, are best in class.

I will think about it. Thanks for the detailed report.
