Cookies from Feed Reader and SiteDelta Watch #220

Open bege10 opened 4 years ago

bege10 commented 4 years ago

Hi, I tried two feed readers and both allow cookies from the sites they access. FMN does not delete these cookies before restart. There are no rules for these sites, so FMN should delete them after the feed reader accessed the site. Can this be fixed so that FMN also clears these cookies?

Thanks for the report. This is an interesting usecase. Currently, FMN checks on startup if the domain is currently active somewhere before deleting data in order to prevent active pages from breaking.

I think if you don't need the cookies, the best method for you would be to create an "instantly" rule for those domains. If you want to keep them until restart, then I'll have to think of something else to make this work, because it won't work with the current version of FMN.

Thank you for your answer. The cookies of some sites I need for logging in if I visit them. So an "instantly" rule is not possible.

I'm gonna have to think about that. I'm not sure it's easily solvable. But I have it on the to-do list.

Thank you.

This issue also relates to the add-on "SiteDelta Watch" that checks for changes on web pages. (Thank you for version 3 beta, this is not solved, but I will test it.)
