hey, I've been using scripsafe for a long time already, but now for 2 weeks I don't know why it resets as soon as I close my browser.

I have to redo everything every time and it's boring, if no solutions I'll change extension.

I tried to uninstall the extension, but it doesn't change anything.

I use brave browser

thanks

Same for me. I use Chrome 83 and manually clear all cookies DBs etc when I close it down (I have to do it manually as there is no way of getting Chrome to do it) - when I do this it wipes Scritpsafe settings even though I don't touch the extensions (None of my other extensions are affected - eg UMatrix). I've resorted to saving the settings in a text file and reloading them every time but that's a pretty poor experience!

Some add-ons save their settings as cookies so you must whitelist them. For example in my Firefox, ScriptSafe's Internal UUID is 8edd61f9-dbbc-435b-b7c8-b84dba6f6b37. So I whitelisted that cookie for all my possible cleaners.

I got the Internal UUID value from: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox

Hence, if the same phenomenon occurs for your other extensions, might as well whitelist their own UUID cookies too.
