Bug#831829: RFS: self-destructing-cookies/0.4.10-1 [ITP] -- delete cookies and LocalStorage after tabs using them have been closed



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package self-destructing-cookies.

With this addon installed, Firefox will delete cookies and LocalStorage
when there are no longer any open tabs using those cookies or
LocalStorage entries.  Sites whose cookies or LocalStorage you want to
keep may be whitelisted.

As upstream puts it, this addon implements a new cookie policy.  It's
like Firefox's built in capacity to delete all cookies when the browser
is closed, except that it acts even sooner to remove cookies that might
be used to track the user in undesirable ways.  It provides a layer of
privacy protection for those of us who care about lingering cookies but
don't want to regularly restart our browsers.

I intend to maintain this package as part of the pkg-mozext team.

* Package name    : self-destructing-cookies
  Version         : 0.4.10-1
  Upstream Author : Ove <sdc@elektro-eel.org>
* URL             : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/
* License         : GPL-2+
  Section         : web

Download with dget:

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/self-destructing-cookies/self-destructing-cookies_0.4.10-1.dsc

Or build it with gbp:

    gbp clone --pristine-tar https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-mozext/self-destructing-cookies
    git checkout debian/0.4.10-1
    git verify-tag debian/0.4.10-1     # if you have my key
    gbp buildpackage

Thanks.
