For Firefox I recommend Cookie AutoDelete 3.8.2 addon. It is possible to configure it to erase all storage (cookies, indexeddb, localSorage and others) after chosen time (default 15s) after changing/leaving domain. It has many other useful options.

Another good addon is ClearURLs 1.27.3 which clears suspicious parameters of query strings on everything what's loaded by page. It sometimes break sites.

Cookie-AutoDelete is effectively dead, for both Firefox and Chrome, as seen from the many Issues on its repo, e.g. https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/issue... -- and hasn't been updated since 2022.

There's a supposed spinoff @ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-clear-site-dat..., but apparently it's not ready for widescale use (and it's not open-source).

Isn't that somewhat pointless if you don't also regularly rotate your ip address?
