Privacy Badger is useless with uBlock Origin and cookie autodelete is useless with Firefox in strict mode.
As I've understood, privacy badger reliability on heuristic classification of trackers can help blocking the latest trackers that are still not present in ublock origin lists. And cookie autodelete allows me to choose which cookies I want to keep and delete the rest. And Strict mode only blocks cross-site cookies, I want them all deleted.
Privacy Badger stopped using heuristic 4 years ago because it could be used to fingerprint you.
Cookie autodelete simply does not work with Firefox's Total Cookie Protection, which is enabled by default.
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
You don't even need an extension to automatically delete cookies, just enable
privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown
andprivacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage
. To add an exception: Ctrl+I>Permissions>Cookies>Allow.Check Arkenfox's extension page and the section about sanitizing on shutdown.
