Cookie 5

@paul-H Cookie 6 supports Brave
🙂

The clearSafariCache.sh script takes a very long time (almost three minutes) on my machines, too, so I went ahead and optimized the find expression a bit so it won't unnecessarily descend into huge directories like com.apple.metadata.mdworker.

Just replace the line

find /private/var/folders \! -name "*SafariTechnologyPreview*" -name "*com.apple.Safari*" -exec rm -r {} \; 2>/dev/null

with

exec 2>/dev/null find /private/var/folders -name "*SafariTechnologyPreview*" -prune -o -name "com.apple.Safari*" -print0 -o -name "com.apple.*" -prune | xargs -0 rm -r

Now the script finishes in less than a second.

(I know that Cookie 6 and later do no longer use this script at all, but people who are still on older systems and cling to Cookie 5 might benefit.)

@retrocool thanks!

I havn't found a way to disable History being synced via iCloud. all other data removal works as expected regardless of iCloud status.

@sweetp thanks for the confirmation. I had issues different from what @alohart was having, and I'm having other issues with Big Sur so I'm going back to Mojave for now. Hopefully I can upgrade to Big Sur (and Cookie 6) at some point.

Those are all browser extensions. Removal is disabled by default.

Click the small star icon in the bottom right of that window. uncheck never remove browser extensions

Cookie v6 has better support for correctly naming extensions.
👍

Perhaps you need to whitelist some of the tracking cookies.

Expand the domain you’re having problems with. highlight any RED tracking cookies right click(control Click) and select add to whitelist
