Fair point, I made the meme to be silly, and, yes, this is one of the many reasons why tokens in general should expire after some point in time.

Also the meme isn’t wrong, memes don’t need logic, they’re supposed to give people a giggle.

To be Frank, who I am not (I’m Hai), I can’t tell if you’re a troll or not. Although, if you’re not, my meme is not “wrong” or spreading misinformation it contains a logical fallacy, as many jokes do. I can list jokes that contain logical fallacies upon request.

Look at this guy over here, nerding out about the WiFi.

Jk, glad to find someone in the comments correcting the misinformation in the meme. OP is probably a hacker who likes to do session hijacking.

Not a hacker, just a silly goofball.

JWT sounds great on paper until you have to deal with logout and revocations. Might as well use standard session cookies.

@7heo @tdawg, i only keep data from sites which i visit every day, no other, using Site Bleacher, it remove automatically cookies, local storages, IndexedDBs, service workers, cache storages, filesystems and webSQLs from all not whitelisted sites. This keeps clean the browser and HD.

What about incognito sessions?

Yeah you really should do both. Some session cookies can just be used as tracking cookies later.

Automatically clear cookies on browser exit, only whitelist the couple of websites you use regularly.

Has the added benefit of making tracking cookies fairly (but not completely) useless

what if I already block all third party cookies? is there a point?

That’s still good practice but first party cookies aren’t exactly trustworthy either. IMO, best to whitelist what you trust and use, permablock what you don’t, and auto-wipe the rest.

These days you’ll need to clear localStorage, sessionStorage, and localDb to really do this. The rise in tokens means some sites only use those.
