Login that requires cookies does not work in Forget Mode

Open zelite opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

I'm using the Cliqz browser for android, and if I try to login on a website that requires cookies while in a forget tab the login will not work.

I think the tab should accept cookies and remove them once the tab is closed. Google Chrome seems to do that.

I guess it's a limitation of using the Webview as the rendering engine, that it stores all cookies in the same spot. But I'm opening this issue so that you are aware of it.

Hi,

you are right, there is no API to remove all the cookies belonging to a single WebView.

Possible solution will be to override all the requests, basically rewriting the network application layer.
