What's the benefit of an extension over setting Firefox to autodelete and setting exceptions in the settings?
CAD deletes cookies for sites as soon as I close the last tab from that domain, not just when quitting the browser.
Especially on android the settings to delete stuff on quit is pretty useless, because I never quit Firefox through the menu, I just remove it from the recent apps, which doesn't trigger that stuff.
Oh gotcha, I'll have to try it out then, thanks!
You can probably rig up something similar using firefox settings depending on what your needs are for convenience and granularity.
I just meant was there a benefit to choosing an extension over Firefox's settings
