Fixes and changes 2.2.7

  • Some logData was lost due to (re)requesting a webpage- to avoid this, logData will be cleared on the next request only, if 30 seconds are at least passed in order to show removal information before the page finished loading
  • Forcing log to be cleared on url change, forcing check if the current tab url matches with the request on clearing, this came to play with xmlHttpRequest background scripts on some pages
  • Added check for "TemporaryContainers add-on" which displays if this is a temporary container in the UI
  • [FIX] Secure cookies were highlighted as unremovable, even so they were not tried to be removed
  • Further removed unrequired font sizes, slimming the FlagCookies down

Fixes and changes in 2.2.8

  • Redesigned the UI so modes are at the top and "tabs" like 'Cookies', 'Flagged' and 'Permitted' are above middle, closer to the cookie content display and styled as tabs
  • Added a initial 'Help' on how to use FlagCookies, which is work in progress
  • [FIX] Profile mode was not shown active in the UI, when the UI was opened
  • Removing xmlHttpRequest from triggering cookie clearing

Fixes and changes in 2.2.9 + 2.2.10

  • Further work on the 'Help' section

Fixes and change in 2.2.11

  • Temporary collected cookie data, for clearing, is cleared on url change/reload to avoid display of old cookie information in the interface

  • Equalizing version number

  • Secure cookies which are not deleted are highlight in the UI and still can be selected and flagged
  • Fixed a bug if no cookies where present no information were shown in UI

2.2.3:

Release 2.2.1

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

Changes in version 2.1.6

Changelog for version 2.1.5 applies.

This is a bugfix release (2.1.6), as domain storage clearing and profile cookie removal did not work any longer due to secure cookie fields introduction.

Changes in version 2.1.5

  • Adding webrequest with blocking permission and removing webnavigation permission in order to clean cookies before a url is opened to increase cookie removal before tracking can start while connection to a website has been made
  • Bugfix URL handling and distinction on "www." domains, this also broke also the count of deleted cookies and the tool tip information
  • Added all available icon sizes to manifest
  • Minor code cleanups
