Bisc

A small tool that clears qutebrowser cookies

Installation

bisc is Haskell program available on Hackage and can be installed with one of the Haskell package managers. For example, with cabal-install you would do

cabal install bisc

and similarly for stack.

Alternatively, if you are using Nix or NixOS, bisc is available under the attribute haskellPackages.bisc. It should also be in the Nix binary cache so you don't have to build from source.

Finally, statically compiled binaries can be found in the releases.

Configuration

The bisc configuration file is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bisc/bisc.conf. It allows to change the paths of the QtWebEngine/Chromium directory and the whitelist file. The default settings are:

whitelist-path = "$(XDG_CONFIG_HOME)/qutebrowser/whitelists/cookies"
webengine-path = "$(XDG_DATA_HOME)/qutebrowser/webengine"

Usage

Create an empty whitelist file and write the domains of the allowed cookies, one per line. Eg.

.example.com
example.com

Run bisc to delete all non-whitelisted data from qutebrowser.
