what if we replaced cookies with one add-one

I believe that a lot of the "problems" that feces internet, can be resolved by changing how the cookies works. how? you may ask, well, by using an add-one that works as a kind of "cookies alternative" and filter for ads and a platform for supporting web sites and creators, all in one tool, what may make it a good alternative for a cookie.


It has four mean functions:
1 - filtering the ads according to the user settings.
2 - supporting sites and creators via tokens that can be purchased.
3 - removing the cookies after the user exits web sites.
4 - keeping the user's identity safe.
5 - surfing the web according to the user preferences.

How it works?

The user installs the add-one and sets his preferences for ads (categories, countries, refusing to see a company's ads, blocked words ...) and if he prefers to see them or to pay to support the site or the creator via the tokens that he can buy.
The user is also able to enable the option to make special settings for each web site, so when he enters one, he'll see it according to the settings he specified before (night mode for example). and for his critical information (name, credit card number, ...) they will be erased the second he closes the browser tab or the browser (it's his choice).
The mean focus is to change the "cookies concept" and reinvent it.

 

Why use it?

Because the user's critical information won't need to be sent to any site for adjusting ads, the add-one does it without interfering with the user's and when it has to send information, it sends what the user specified in the add-one settings.
Plus, it enables him to support the creators he prefer the way he wants. and to top all of that, it will be just the beginning for a new way to interact with the web.
To make it easy, let's say it's a kind of hybrid between multiple add-ons (Cookie AutoDelete + Firefox Multi-Account Containers + adblocker + some new things).
