Package: midori
Version: 0.4.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
It seems to me that there's no way in Midori to reject cookies from
websites. I failed to find any relevant option in the Preferences
(I can have Midori delete old cookies after 1 day, or even 1 hour,
but it does not seem to be able to reject cookies...).
The "Cookie Manager" extension is nice: it lets me see the accepted
cookies, search through them, and delete them. But, again, it does
not seem to allow me to reject cookies.
I would like to see a cookie block mechanism implemented in Midori.
I should be able to toggle an option like "reject all cookies"
and have Midori reject cookies from all websites.
There should also be a user-defined exception list, to specify
which websites will be allowed to set cookies no matter what,
and which websites will be prevented from setting cookies no matter
what.
A similar exception list would be useful for JavaScript blocking,
as well.
It should be easy to see that the current website attempted to set
cookies, but was prevented to do so (or, conversely, that it was
allowed to): it could be notified with a little icon in the right
hand side of the location bar, which displays a little balloon with
further information and/or commands, when the mouse hovers it.
The available commands in the balloon could be "set an exception for
this website", "temporarily allow/prevent" (which means: until the tab
is closed), ...
Please note that the same infrastructure may be used to also inform
the user about websites that attempted to run JavaScript and were
prevented/allowed to do so...
A feature similar to this little icon is currently implemented
in the Chromium web browser, by the way.
Or maybe the little icon could be displayed in the statusbar, where
the useful "Statusbar Features" extension interface is placed, by the
way. Perhaps the "Statusbar Features" extension could also allow to
quickly turn the cookie rejection mechanism on and off, on a per-tab
basis (rather than globally, as it currently seems to act for the
other features...).
OK, I realize that this wishlist bug report is a bit over-long and
over-complicated! ;-)
I am sorry about that: I tried hard to break it down into smaller
feature requests, but I failed miserably! :-(
The fact is that all these missing features are closely related
and I didn't want to ask for something and then come back to ask
for something more, which could require the first piece to be
implemented differently, and so on...
I hope these features may be implemented (even one piece at a time,
but with a clear vision of the final goal!).
Please forward this report upstream, as appropriate.
Thanks a lot for bearing with me! ;-)
