Crush Those Cookies on Basilisk?

Unread post by fatboy » 2023-04-03, 17:39

Good Day Folks,

I know one can't really demand free stuff, but I was wondering if anyone else would like to have the addon "Crush Those Cookies" ported to Basilisk? Or, the "Self Destructing Cookies" addon ported to Basilsik?
I think it is a great tool for privacy removing unused cookies as you browse?

Can we put bounties on these requests or is that silly?

For Basilisk I use Justoff's Cookies Exterminator, seems to do the job well enough: https://github.com/JustOff/cookies-exterminator

Thanks for the suggestion... enjoying giving Cookie Exterminator a trial run. :)

For anyone trying to download Cookie Exterminator using andyprough's link above... GitHub is one of the problem sites that latest Basilisk still needs to have martok's Palefill [external] extension installed in order to display some pages/items correctly!

With the 'Palefill' extension installed in Basilisk the 'cookexterm-2.9.10.xpi' download link is visible on the GitHub 'Assets' page:

cookexterm-2.9.10.xpi download link visible on GitHub 'Assets' page

PS. If you install Palefill 1.26 directly from martok's GitHub page the 'enable' setting in Basilisk's Add-ons Manager is applied automatically. However, if you download the Palefill .xpi file itself... and 'drag & drop' the .xpi file onto a Basilisk page... then you will also need to open the Add-ons Manager and 'enable' Palefill.

PPS. Pale Moon no longer needs to use the Palefill extension since last update when Google WebComponents were implemented by default (see Pale Moon v32.1.0 Release notes) - Hooray and BZs to all involved! :D

This is a great suggestion, thank you. The addon, in theory, should be more secure than the 2014 version of Self Destructing Cookies haha
Now we just need this ported to the Basilisk Addons page :D

Alas, I wouldn't expect that to happen due to: 1) the prior dust-up about JustOff's questionable redirection of extension update sources (search the forum for details); and 2) the fact that JustOff hasn't been seen online since Russia invaded his country over a year ago. The most likely way we would see it added to the Addons site is if somebody else forks it and puts their fork up there.

Or you can just use Cookie Masters.
