Version 2.2.1 - Bugfix

Fixes the error "cookieData[rootDomain]" not found

  • This update resolves disappearing cookies when another tab is closed, previously clearing the active tab cookie information and domain information

Version 2.2.0

This is a major change, existing settings still should apply, but the majority of how the add-on functions has been redone.

Even foreign domain cookies are made visible if the page does load them.
This means, if global flag is enabled, all, also domain related cookies of foreign domains are removed by global mode or auto-flag.
This means, what you firstly should see in the cookie control are the domain owned cookies. After that, "[SUBLOAD] domain url" is shown, which means, this cookie comes from another page on that domain.
You can flag this cookies for this subloaded domain, but its recommended to use auto-flag (for that iniitital domain) or global flag mode. But cookies for this domains are manageable for the main domain.

For example: You visit "https://google.com" and this domain would include cookies from "https://ads.google.com" - you can manage to flag and delete cookies from "ads.google.com" if you visit "https://google.com". If you would visit "ads.google.com" - you can make custom settings for this domain, leaving the settings for "google.com" intact.

Recommended way is: Set all required profile cookies if applying and auto-flag that domain in order to delete all cookies from this domain, if not in profile mode, even foreign ones.
If you decide you don't want to use any profile cookies, simply auto-flag the domain.
In case you want to remove all unknown cookies on a domain, use auto-flag and profile mode switch in combination.

Global mode will delete cookies only if active, Auto-flag will instead delete all left over cookies for a domain on your next visit, because its a domain setting. Global will only work for a domain if its set active.

Other changes:

  • Introduced "[SUBLOAD] URL" - which indicates foreign loaded domains which set cookies
  • Improved log functionality to log also webrequest events using windowId and tab.id
  • Removal of permitted and flagged cookies from subwindows have been fixed, this seemed to have ceased working at some point
  • Style changes in UI, removing some borders or make them less stand out
  • Secure Cookies, which could not be deleted when global or auto-flag is enabled, are displaying a "missing host permission" information and they are made not manageable as profile or flag/permit cookies. In case a secure cookie could have been deleted (or global flag and auto-flag have been turned off) - the secure cookies can receive settings - but doing a clearing afterwards when global or auto-flag was enabled, will render this settings invalid, never the less, it is possible to make settings, even so, in case the cookie cannot be removed successfully, its shown in Interface.
  • Removed a lot of older but now unnecessary code, which was left over from the attempt to detect a window close, which was working only partially
