Title: Saving history when accessing bitcointalk
Post by: jackg on December 02, 2018, 04:12:39 PM
I use chrome mobile and Firefox on desktop. I’m wondering if there’s a way to stop saving history related to this site but keep my cookies in place perms a three without having to manually go in and deleting it every few weeks...

Has anyone come up with a solution to this?

I will post links since is faster and it will be long posts every step.

The easy way is to set the preference to "remove cookies when closing the browser for all websites"
This is for every website: https://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Cookies

The "hard way" is to change preferences for 1 website:
This is for a specific website with firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/it/questions/1200198
You can do also with google, read under "Allow or block cookies for a specific site" : https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en-GB

You can now start using the "incognito Mode " of your browser . It will not impact the cookies but your surfing will not be in your browser history.

Was going to suggest the same. You can open an incognito window every time you are using the forum and the history won't be saved for anything you do in that window. Your cookies won't get affected nor you would need to do any manual deletion.

Definitely installing and using TOR browser will be your best choice or using browser's incognito mode as mentioned above. But I see no reason for it as a difficult task for deleting it manually, I even do it every day using chrome.

This wasn’t what I wanted what you’re saying. But I wrote it on a train going backwards so apologies.
I want to keep my cookies and delete my distort so the browser doesn’t remember every thread link that I click on.

I use incognito mode when i'm just browsing, and another web browser app when posting messages. That way i can store cookie information from bitcointalk without mixing it up with other browsing data

That's just a browser setting, but it's a global setting in your browser, so it will act the same on all sites you visit.
In Firefox, click Preferences > search "history" > untick "Remember browsing and download history" or tick "Clear history when Firefox closes". You may want to do the same for disk cache.

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, it's kinda trivial, and for sure not a Meta subject.
