Tom Wid, 2023-12-23Finally, a simple extension that does what I want it to - clear cookies on closing browser, with a whitelist that's easy to add to. I wish there was an option to have left clicking the icon add/remove from whitelist instead of turning the whole extension on/off, but otherwise it does its job perfectly.
edit - unfortunately, at some point since posting this review, session mode has stopped working. Tab mode still works though.
