Question Protecting Login Cookies on Chrome/Chromium Browser


Recently, I started having random crash issues with my Firefox (121.0.1). It got so bad the other day that I had to fire up my backup browser on this system (unGoogled) Chromium.

I've never been a big fan of Chrome/Chromium. You can read a recent rant about it HERE, if you'd like.

One thing that aggravates me greatly is that Chrome/Chromium doesn't offer in built-in means to manage/protect login cookies. This means that the ONLY way to keep logged into sites across browser sessions is to NEVER dump cookies. That SUCKS!

I dump ALL cookies in Firefox each time I close the browser. However, my login cookies are protected and don't get deleted. This is convenient because I don't have to login to all my usual sites again each morning.

Is there an extention available that provides the type of cookie management/protection for login cookies that I speak of above. I've sampled a couple from the Chrome Web Store, but they do NOT have that capability, unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, I didn't resolve the protecting login cookies in Chromium challenge, but I did revert to FF 121.0 so that I could use my preferred browser again. I'm hoping the next upgrade for FF fixes whatever was causing the random tab/browser crashes in 121.0.1.
