    Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet (while it is on desktop), the only choises you are left with are:

    • Use ff focus that completely resets the browser deleting every cookie in the process
    • Use normal ff and:
    1. Just accept that you have to deal with cookies and care to carefully select Reject on every banner
    2. Turn on delete data on “exit button press” (which sadly deletes everything again, with no possibility to whitelist some websites).

    That said, i believe Firefox should have (even on android) their “total cookie protection” thing which puts them in separate containers for each domain, so you are somewhat protected by cookie cross-tracking, but i would still prefer to delete most of them at close.

      Having seem the inside of some of these trackers, I can assure you that cross-domain “protection” is a furphy. Also, 848 partners is small fries. For shits and giggles you should turn on network logging on Firefox or Chrome and open any modern news website.

        Yea, 😂, I was very shocked on the amount of server contacted when I first time installed a pi-hole and opened a local news page while being on piHole webUI to test if it works.
