[FEATURE REQUEST] Add Setting To Manipulate The Behavior Of The 'Clean' Button

by ADMIN 80 views

Introduction

The 'Clean' button is a crucial feature in many browser extensions, including Cookie AutoDelete. However, the default behavior of this button can be limiting for users who have specific workflows or preferences. In this feature request, we propose adding a setting to manipulate the behavior of the 'Clean' button, allowing users to customize its default action to suit their needs.

Problem Statement

Many browser extensions, such as Cookie AutoDelete, have a setting to change the main button's behavior. This setting allows users to choose whether they want to quickly delete cookies from sites that are not currently open or run an alternative action. However, the default behavior of the 'Clean' button is often set to delete cookies from sites that are not currently open, which may not be ideal for users who prefer a different workflow.

Solution

To address this issue, we propose adding a new setting option to choose what the default 'Clean' button action should be. This setting would allow users to customize the behavior of the 'Clean' button to suit their needs. For example, users could choose to set the default action to 'Clean all for this domain', which would delete all cookies for the current domain, regardless of whether the site is currently open or not.

Alternatively, we could add a small icon next to the options in the button's drop-down menu to quickly set them as the default action. This would provide users with a convenient way to switch between different default actions without having to navigate through the extension's settings.

Benefits

Adding a setting to manipulate the behavior of the 'Clean' button would provide several benefits to users. Firstly, it would allow users to customize the behavior of the 'Clean' button to suit their needs, which would improve their overall user experience. Secondly, it would provide users with more flexibility and control over their cookie deletion process, which would be particularly useful for users who have specific workflows or preferences.

Alternatives Considered

While we have not considered any alternative solutions, we believe that adding a setting to manipulate the behavior of the 'Clean' button is the most effective way to address the issue. However, we are open to considering alternative solutions that may be more suitable for the extension.

Additional Context

The proposed setting would be a valuable addition to the extension, as it would provide users with more flexibility and control over their cookie deletion process. We believe that this setting would be particularly useful for users who have specific workflows or preferences, and would improve their overall user experience.

Implementation

To implement this feature, we would need to add a new setting option to the extension's settings page. This setting would allow users to choose what the default 'Clean' button action should be. We would also need to add a small icon next to the options in the button's drop-down menu to quickly set them as the default action.

Conclusion

In conclusion, adding a setting to manipulate the behavior of the 'Clean' button would provide several benefits to users, including improved user experience, flexibility, and control over their cookie deletion process. We believe that this setting would be a valuable addition to the extension, and would improve the overall user experience.

Future Work

In the future, we could consider adding more advanced settings to the extension, such as the ability to customize the behavior of the 'Clean' button for specific domains or websites. We could also consider adding more advanced features, such as the ability to schedule cookie deletion or to delete cookies based on specific criteria.
