Cookie settings check #984

Closed cgorringe closed 9 months ago

Performs some checks on whether extension can access cookies and informs the user when they login to Please Enable Cookies.

Catches case when privacy.firstparty.isolate variable in Firefox is set true. See #983
Catches when All Cookies are blocked in browser settings. (which usually also prevents websites from working correctly.)

I am having this issue with container extension enabled or because I chose strict mode previously?

cgorringe commented 9 months ago

I don't know what "container extension" enabled means.

In Firefox Privacy Settings: Strict Mode shouldn't cause issues normally. Logging in should only not work under Custom and ALL Cookies blocked. Other cookie settings should work. This PR will fix the issue by providing a warning to turn on cookies.

Tested in latest Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
