Is there a Firefox add-on that allows for any cookies associated with a tab to be deleted?
-
I've been noticing that a lot of news websites I frequent have been counting the number of visits, trying to force me to buy a subscription. Of course, all I have to do is delete the cookie(s) associated with the website and the count gets reset to zero. It seems that this would be a great idea to have an add-on such that there is a ToolButton that could be actuated to delete the cookies on the tab that is currently active (or when the tab is closed). Now, this is not the same thing as an add-on that simply deletes the cookies all the time; I'd like to have control of when to delete rather than have the garbage automatically collected. Of course, if there isn't such an add-on already developed, I guess I could roll my own. I am wondering what languages, IDE, etc., I would need to know/have develop such an add-on. I'm quite green with internet stuff, as the last web page I built was purely in HTML, and before Y2K, LOL.
