We need to make a cookie management section, to cover all the different feature requests.
From what I’ve gathered, there are three primary goals, which could be addressed with the introduction of two shields, and a global whitelist settings to manage all cookies without navigating to the particular site.
-
Manage cookies on a per-site basis, effectively blocking everything by default, and only whitelisting what you need. This would be another toggle switch in the brave shield menu, but your whitelist could be managed in settings, so you can quickly modify all sites and view your list.
-
Introduction of a Private Browsing Shield, so that you can have two shields. Perhaps in regular mode, you don’t block cookies, but your private shield settings block all cookies by default, as well as Javascript. This gives people flexibility for their settings depending on the type of window.
-
Introduce a whitelist, with auto-delete preferences. In a global settings tab, we’d have a list of preferences for managing cookies. Able to delete after a certain period of time, or after closing the app. Could have global delete settings, or different deletion settings for whitelisted sites. Maybe you want to clear email cookies every month, so you don’t login too frequently, but then have other sites clear daily.
