Cookie whitelisting on Android? (addons.mozilla.org)

In my desktop Firefox I use Cookie Autodelete to keep a whitelist of sites whose cookies won't be deleted. All other cookies are deleted as soon as all tabs for a particular site are closed.

Android's Firefox, from what I gather, only give you two choices: delete all cookies upon quitting (not tab closing), or save them across sessions.

Unfortunately the extension above does not work on Firefox Android, and I haven't found any other alternatives.

Do you know of any alternatives or other solutions, to get a behaviour similar to the desktop one? (And also: how come that extension is not supported on Firefox on Android?)

Cheers!

I thought that fennec was no longer developed... I liked it much more than fennix

fennec, confusingly, was too different things

fennec, the codename for firefox android before it was codenamed fenix, is no longer developed. you're right

fennec, the floss soft fork of firefox android, is still being developed. it's available on fdroid, and based on fenix (modern firefox android)

Where's the source code for Fennec? The link on its f-droid page is just firefox-android repo.

upd: found it https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild

I wish the fork would not have chosen the same name as a previous engine....

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

to be fair; at the point they name it fennec, it was a pretty sensible name. when mozilla then changed the codename they could either keep name recognition or match upstream, and they chose the former

it's a dumb name now, but i think they made the right choice at every juncture

Looking at the commits, I see mozilla devs working on it. The release schedule has been mirroring the official firefox releases for as long as I can remember.

I get Fennec updates through F-droid all the time.
