Auto scope your cookies to expire in 7 days with wearehere extension v4
v3 was a privacy scanner — useful but passive. You got a report and the trackers kept tracking. v4 acts on what it finds.
The new cookie scoper runs on a tunable alarm and:
• caps long-lived cookies 365 days → 7 days for untrusted sites
• demotes known analytics + advertising cookies to session-only
• clears third-party cookies when you close the tab
• leaves trusted sites alone (one-click "trust 30/90 days")
Trackers can't recognise you tomorrow if their cookie expires tonight.
I also collapsed a lot of complexity:
• Popup: 8 cards → 3 focused blocks (+ scoper card)
• Dashboard: 6 tabs → 3 (Overview / Watchers / Cookie scoper)
• Locked mechanism vocabulary: cookies · pixels · device-id · typing · clicks. No more guessing what "trackers" actually means on this page.
What survived from v3 got rebuilt to remember. Watcher attribution, scores, and impact now persist across sessions — so the dashboard shows who's following you across the web, not just what's on the current page.
Everything still runs locally. No accounts, no telemetry, no remote rule lists. All state in browser storage. Apache-2.0, source on GitHub.
Available soon on Chrome + Firefox.
Worth noting: wearehere doesn't block requests. uBlock Origin does that expertly. wearehere observes + scopes cookies. Run both for the strongest stack.
