Browser users lose selected cookies when clearing data
Privacy-conscious browser users want to clear browsing data without losing logins and preferences for sites they choose to keep. Current browser clearing options can be all-or-nothing, while cookie consent prompts also require repeated, inconsistent decisions across sites. The evidence supports a focused browser-cookie tool, though the WebDriver and library requests describe separate developer problems.
For privacy-conscious browser users. Mentioned from Mar 2018 to Jun 2026 on Bluesky, product forums, GitHub, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.
