I have my browser setup to automatically delete cookies after the app is closed. I do this for privacy reasons. I would however like to store some cookie information, but not the rest. Example: Every time I start a new session I am forced to read DuckDuckGo’s AI slop as the first result to my search query. I have to manually change site settings every new session and I don’t like it. I know that I could allow certain sites to store cookies but I don’t want to allow DuckDuckGo to store any other information. Is there any way I could save site settings in a static file that is reloaded every time I open my browser? I use both Chromium and Firefox on linux and android.

    i do something like this on firefox and the container tabs feature.

    i create a set of container tabs for websites that do tracking with cookies and only visit that website using its dedicated container so that it looks like i ONLY use my browser to go to ONLY go to that one website from the trackers perspective.

    i also started using privacy badger and ghostery to give the tracker junk information to make all the data harvesting useless; but i don’t know if it works yet.
