U did not readed it well. As firefox on android do not have sandboxing and segregation things It cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc. Firefox due to same reason cannot tell about WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE.I need to know that info so I am asking for any solution but as per what I know there are no solutions
Sorry for poor english
Don't you think there is a reason why none of browsers provide this feature? Do you seriously want to open a website and be greeted with 30 pop ups asking "do you want to allow javascript on api.example.com website?". Then instantly "do you want to allow loading static images/media on api.example.com website?". Point is - it's not how web works.
Imagine in your perfect world you get a pop up saying "Firefox has detected that example.com has saved 2 cookies on your device and they consume 43 bytes of your storage space. Do you want to delete them?". Again, even if it saves cached data (static images) - why would you care? Firefox has addons that can help you to get rid of tracking cookies.
Please learn on how internet works. There is no such thing as "website", especially in your context. Technically, your requested features could be possible to implement, but that would break like 100℅ of websites. And what you are probably looking for is something like Postman, but for Android. 🙆
Noscript does exactly that. Poorly there is no exception to allow x origin only on y domain. But yeah, its supported very well
But all this is available in desktop Firefox. Partially built-in, partially via add-ons. The mobile version is very limited.
Don’t you think there is a reason why none of browsers provide this feature? Cromite does provide it I am writing this reply from it and only some website have js enabled like lemmy instance I use,masto etc. Rest open without it and if something breaks I change settings for it. But I dont hate js, its fine and I was just explaining how I want things to happen. *Firefox has detected that example.com has saved 2 cookies ... * I was not saying that but as in chromium or in ff desktop u can check which site have saved what data in settings I just want something like that (Nobody wants that much interupping popups) that would break like 100℅ of websites. Chrome does it and everything works
Btw Xbrowser sync will function same as brave sync? Anonymous!
I tried some addons and probably cookie is not only form of data. As I was loggined on piped.video but there were no cookie showing in quick cookie manager I also used cookie auto delete and piped data was not deleted. I dont have technical details but in an addon (Name was probably something like forget forever) which claim to delete all site data. There were about 10 types of data listed including cookie,IndexDb,Session storage etc. That extension was also not able to remove that data (Was showing not available on your platform).
The uMatrix add-on for Firefox seems to do what you want.
Discontinued
Thanks, will try
This makes no sense. Firefox with noscript and "forgetmenot" can selectively allow Javascript per domain, and to save cookies.
This cookie quick manager is probably an extension you want.
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/collections/17446767/Fenix-Addons/
This is a custom addon collection, I will add cookie quick manager if its missing
Thanks this is exact thing I was looking for. A bit more explanation
Use noscript and ublock to control what gets to your browser and what gets executed there. Noscript is so underrated, its literally the best way to remove tracking. All these superficial blockers cant reach manual opt-in for javascript, selected by origin.
Forgetmenot replaces firefox desktop functionality, but does even more.
Hmm but as in screenshot U cant remove all types of data as platform limitation.
Out of context but do u use ff sync or not?
Yes its great. Biggest reason why Chromium is not an option, apart from UserChrome.css, user.js, many addons and an addon store not by google not requiring an account
