How about your other app, Privatus6?
Is it, by any chance, compatible with Safari 13 on High Sierra?
/

I understand!

Any chance of making Cookie6 compatible with High Sierra?

So, High Sierra users are left with no options!
Cookie5 doesn't support Safari 13 on High Sierra and neither does Coolkie6 !

Is Cookie5 fully compatible with Safari 13 on High Sierra?
It seems like Safari 13 made some changes to local storage.. with new items like v0 and v1??

[...] is that a website preference option?

I'm bumping this issue since it is still a problem with current version of Cookie5 and Chrome.

Chrome's preference for "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching" is getting reset to ON when Cookie5 clears data.

I'vre tried favoriting and whitelisting cookies for Google as well as favoriting 'leveldb' with no luck.

Strange that startup isn't working?
Cookie 5 should not be listed in System Preferences, as that causes a conflict with the startup preferences in Cookie.

Yes. I do understand that Cookie5 should not be in the Login Items.
I only mentioned it for background info on the issue.

I've deleted com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5.plist and reconfirmed the settings in the SetUp Window and now Cookie5 is launching properly at startup!
So, Cookie5 is now working faily well on ElCapitan with Safari 11.1.2 and Chrome** 76.0.3809.100.

**In Chrome Cookie5 still resets our preference setting for disabling "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching." This happens both on ElCapitan and High Sierra.

Success is almost at hand!!
Thanks for the permissions tip, Russell!
I've used chmod 755 on the Safari scripts and now Safari data removal is working!!!

The only remaining issue is that Cookie5 fails to launch at startup/login despite having Display->Open Cookie at login->and Hide selected. I've tried toggling this off and back on with no improvement.
(Cookie5 is not listed in Users & Groups->Login Items)

@Timmy take a look at this thread,
your scripts may have the wrong permissions:

v5.9.14 has been approved in the App Store, so should be available for updating any minute now

I've deleted every Cookie5 related folder and file that I can find and then deleted the Cookie5 MAS app via LaunchPad as well as deleting Safari cookie related files in ~Library/Cookies and restarted. I then reinstalled Cookie5 5.9.14 from MAS.
I accepted the Sandbox permissions for my Home directory. I configured Cookie5 for automatic removal of Safari data when the Browser Quits. I added the Safari scripts from the CookieScripts.dmg dated 2019-03-28. Cookie5 then prompted me with several open/save dialogs and said that it had updated the Safari scripts.

But, Cookie5 still does not remove ANY Safari data. Even if I manually Choose "Remove Safari Unwanted Data" (while Safari is not open) Cookie5 does not remove any Safari data. It shows a continuously spinning gear in the Cookie5 Safari pane.

I'll be right back, I have to go punch a hole in the wall with my head...

I can revert the script changes no problem.

As for Firefox, it is becoming harder to manage...
It doesn't like having cookies removed whilst open anymore, and this can cause corruption to its cookie file.

Yeah, I've given up on Cookie5 with Firefox on my primary High Sierra system. Which is a shame... I just thought I'd give it another try on our old ElCapitan machine. Although, I I don't think I've ever asked Cookie5 to ever clear data while a browser is running... So, I'm sure that is the cause of our Firefox problems.

Yes. Firefox 68.0.2
Safari 11.1.2 on 10.11.6
i will post more details of the chaos tomorrow.
For Safari, I don't think Cookie5 is recognizing it's Safari scripts.
For Firefox, Cookie5 shows no cookies or databases etc...

I cannot even describe many things don't work...

Hey Russell,,
Here is a free idea for you.
A Safari extension/app that allows us to select arbitrary images and other elements of the current web page and temporarily eliminate them as a way to clean-up a page before printing/saving etc.
There used to be a Safari extension that did this but it is long since gone.
There seem to be a couple of add-ons out there for Chrome and Firefox, but nothing for Safari, AFAIK.

@Timmy said in Cooke is running, but no menu or settings icon:

I just started having an issue with the Cookie (MAS and non-MAS beta) menu bar icon on 10.13.6, all of a sudden the menubar icon is greyed-out.

OK. I'm an idiot!
I had accidentally 'Paused Automatic Removal.'
Carry on...

@SweetP said in Chrome 'Downloads' not being cleared?:

Ive been working on another app, but I got back to work on this today.
the latest Beta should fix it:

https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie5/CookieBeta.dmg

The 5.9.9.5. beta looks good!
Chrome downloads are being cleared!
I've only tested this using Remove "On Browser Quit" since that is how I use Cookie in all of my browsers.
Thanks for resolving this, Russell!
Since you are such a browser expert I have a free idea for you for a Safari extension! Interested?

@SweetP said in Chrome 'Downloads' not being cleared?:

@Timmy really?
are you deleted the downloads while Chrome is open or closed - because Its more than likely cached while open.

As mentioned in the initial report, we are using 'Remove on Browser Quit.'

@SweetP said in Chrome 'Downloads' not being cleared?:

Ive just uploaded beta version 5.9.9.4
can you let me know if it fixes the downloads removal for you

ah I see you're on the MAS version.
but, you still can download the beta from here:
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie5/CookieBeta.dmg

No improvement with 5.9.9.4 beta.
