Have an add-on for Firefox like NoScript, but for cookies (that make possible to whitelist while surfing the web)? [closed]
I'm using Cookie Monster -- does the job and somehow similar to NoScript (the toolbar button, can temporarily allow cookies, 3rd party cookies etc).
Not exactly as friendly as a NoScript button, but there is the option to allow/disallow cookies per-site via Firefox's Page Info
dialog. This is accessed by right clicking the background of the page you want to allow/disallow and clicking View Page Info
.
There may be an addon that simplifies this task, but if not, it would be trivial to write as all of the work is already done.
You can try Ghostery.
It blocks cookies and also allows you to whitelist domains.
Here's a very lightweight extension you can use in conjunction with built-in settings:
Toggle Cookies
Click the icon to toggle the cookieBehavior
preference, that's all it does.
When it enables cookies, it intentionally still disallows third party cookies unless you right-click the icon to toggle the thirdparty.sessionOnly
preference (status will show in a tooltip when hovering over the icon).
This extension is primarily for people who like to keep cookies disabled unless it breaks a site, never want permanent third party cookies, and probably have the "Ask me every time" option selected to control exceptions like a whitelist (tip: that option is more bearable when you set the about:config pref network.cookie.alwaysAcceptSessionCookies
to true for less repetitive prompting)
Bonus: Middle-click the icon to open your cookies list in a new tab.
Here's an existing per-site cookie settings tip (built-in to the browser) on any page:
- right-click -> View Page Info
- click on Permissions tab
- view or change the Set Cookies options directly
