What I miss in the common browsers, or so l at least I haven't found it, is a function in the browser that lets you delete all cookies recieved in the last hour or day or so.
Some sites let me reject cookies, but some don't. I just want to delete the cookies from that site and keep the ones for the sites I trust and regularly visit.

I have the solution if you're using a Chromium-based browser:

1: Navigate to `chrome://settings/content/siteData`
2: Set *Default Behavior* to `Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows`
3: In *Customized Behaviors* -> *Allowed to save data on your device*, click on the “Add” button, and add every website you need, under this format:

If you don't know the cookies you need, `[*.]example.com`
If you know, `subdomain.example.com`.

Keep in mind that this is to delete cookies from every site but the ones you trust, every time you completely close the browser.

Thanks. I didn't know that feature existed.
Not a huge fan of Google these days so I hadn't checked there.

Also, if you need help to set up a proper list (I have been able to reduce my cookie size to 90 MB), let me know! I'm always happy to help.

@thatonecoder @MennoWolff wait, 90 megabytes of cookies is good these days? 🫣

Mastodon takes ~30 MB (and I have 2 accounts). Lichess takes ~9 MB, Element takes ~7 MB, Proton takes ~6 MB.

@nina_kali_nina @thatonecoder 😨

Are cookies still plain text or am I horrifically behind?

Like, thirty megs of cache I can just about believe, loading all those pfp's and too-big images etc, but cookies? Sixty times lord of the rings just for hey this guy's logged in?

@ifixcoinops @thatonecoder yeah, it seems it was not _just_ cookies, but local storage as well
