czesetfan 29 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Interesting insight about the incomplete automatic deletion of cookies in Microsoft Edge: https://malwaretips.com/threads/microsoft-edge-stable-chromium-now-available-for-download.95808/page-118#post-1084663 Since ESET's "Browser Privacy" add-on uses Edge's internal processes for deletion, even when the add-on is set to "Delete All", components remain undeleted for this reason. 🤔 Is there a plan to address this situation?

Administrators Marcos 5,235 Posted April 26 Administrators Share Posted April 26 It is not clear to me what the issue is. Please raise a support ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czesetfan 29 Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 It's a general question. In Microsoft Edge, there is an option to set "Clear all cookies" when you close the browser. Essentially the same can be set in the "ESET Browser Privacy and Security" add-on. The problem is that there is probably a bug in Edge that causes all cookies, objects, to not always be deleted. Complete deletion can be achieved by manually starting the deletion process. The question is therefore whether ESET is aware of this and whether a remedy is planned. Of course meant to correct the functioning of the add-on not the functioning of Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,742 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Are you running Edge in private browser mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czesetfan 29 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 (edited) No, in standard mode. In some cases, despite the "Clear All" setting in the "Browser Privacy" add-on, cookies/objects will remain after restarting the browser. If you feel like testing, try the website: https://osel.cz (popular science). For me, 100% of visits will leave an undeleted artefact.

My suspicion is Eset' Secure Browser cookie deletion processing is just using the same like processing available for the given supported browser.

I did a quick test on mentioned website on MS Edge and it works as expected, it removed website cookies and localstorage unless I enabled exclusion for open tabs. Do you have enabled Advanced cookie settings? btw Browser Privacy & Security uses API provided by browser to cleanup cookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czesetfan 29 Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 That's interesting. 🤔 I'm experimenting with enabling/disabling Advanced cookie settings. So far the remains remain in both cases. I'll keep trying. I would appreciate if more users would do this test and share their results. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czesetfan 29 Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Yes, I already know that the ESET add-on works with the browser API. 👍 That's why my original question was whether ESET developers know about the problem with unreliable deletion, or if a solution is in the works. It's just that, it looks like I can't yet demonstrate whether this bug is global. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
