Cookie-autodelete: Delete service workers

Created on 13 Dec 2017 · 8Comments · Source: Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete

Describe the Bug/Feature

Maybe it would also be useful to clear the service workers too. They can cache things or so, but likely also be used to store "tracking cookie"-like things.

And they can run in the background when websites are not open. One can open about:serviceworkers (or chrome://inspect/#service-workers in Chrome/ium) to look what service workers you already run.

@sdht0 Thanks! It will be worked upon once I get existing bugs/regresions fixed.

It's part of browsingData but the hostname attribute doesn't work for it yet.

You might find Web API Manager useful. It's more for blocking the APIs in the first place, but...might be worth looking into?

@kennethtran93: in case you missed the above message, this feature will also be available in FF77 and can be implemented along with #171 and #551. Hopefully all these together implies CAD will finally have feature parity with FF's "Manage cookies and site data" on a per-hostname basis.
