What’s the best way, shelter (so work profile with officiale app) or dedicated browser without clear cookies (I’m using fennec as default, so wich other would be good choice?) I’m skipping foss app user case cause there’s not insta alternative. Thanks

    In my Firefox (Fennec) setting I’v set to clear all data on exit, is this the reason why I’v to insert saved login credential every time?

    I think so, becasue this will clear the session cookies that have the account token in them

    So, one solution would be to directly use the anonymous mode for everything (you can enable the option to open links in an anonymous tab) where you don’t want to keep login, and by disabling the “clear data on exit” you use the non anonymous mode for insta and facebook. You can also keep the clear data on exit, and exclude the cookies, BTW

      ok so I suppose anonymous mode don’t keep track of any sie data,preference,cookies ecc…is this correct? Do you use this method? did you face any site issue in anon mode?

        I don’t use this method, but I would say that the difference between private browsing and the “clear on exit” option is that with the latter you can adjust what you clear on exit (cache, cookies, history), while with the former it cleans everything automatically.

        So what you are doing right now is equivalent to using private browsing. The only thing that would make things more convenient for you is the sggestion to enable the options to open links in private mode in firefox.

          ok, I’v tried with Mull (that’s still based on Firefox), and use a separate browser (feel more safe from user mistake) that keeps login,cookies data but still is very slow compared with Webapp…thinking if shelter app is better solution at this point.
