|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
bisc - a small tool that clears cookies (and more)
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B bisc
|
|
.RI [ option ]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
Websites can store unwanted data using all sorts of methods: besides the usual
|
|
cookies, there are also the local and session storage, the IndexedDB API and
|
|
more caches as well.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Bisc will try to go through each of them and remove all information from
|
|
websites that are not explicitly allowed (ie. a whitelist of domains).
|
|
It was created for qutebrowser, but it actually supports the storage format
|
|
used by Chromium-based browsers, which (sadly) means almost every one nowadays.
|
|
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Create an empty whitelist file (see the FILES section) and write the domains of
|
|
the allowed cookies, one per line. For example:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fC
|
|
\&.example.com
|
|
example.com
|
|
\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Run \fCbisc --dry-run\fR to see what would be deleted without actually
|
|
doing it.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Run \fCbisc\fR to delete all non-whitelisted data from qutebrowser.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -c ","\ --config\ FILE
|
|
Use FILE as the configuration file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -n ","\ --dry-run
|
|
Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -u ","\ --unsafe
|
|
Ignore database locks.
|
|
This will probably corrupt the databases, but works while the browser is
|
|
running.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR -h ","\ --help
|
|
Show the program information and help screen.
|
|
