User Reviews

Love the addon! Bugs/Improvements: 1)This setting is not saved: Preserve data for recent sites in the same tab (useful for "Back" button) -- (I changed it to 1, but it defaults back to 4) 2) Option to clear cookies / objects immediately after visiting a website (blocking cookies breaks the website, but accepting them and removing them right away works fine). 3) Ability to remove the red number icon (it's distracting when the icon is pinned). 4) Add Cookie Browser dialog that shows domains for which cookies are currently stored and add ability to set/adjust cookie rules from that dialog. Can get inspiration from Firefox addon Forget me not (click on black book icon with dot on top)

Same issue as mr. sparkle. Extension logs me out of several running tabs that have idled in the background. Otherwise great concept, but maybe it get's a little convoluted. CookieAutoDelete was pretty straight forward in comparison.

Is Auto-Clear Site Data Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Auto-Clear Site Data requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Auto-Clear Site Data is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
