Comment Change Permissions on Flash Cookie Directory (Score 1) 192
A while back I got tired of everybody tracking me online so I cracked down on permanent browser storage. I ended up getting rid of all cookies on browser close and ran these commands:
rm -rf ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/*
rm -rf ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/*
With sudo:
chown -R root.root
chmod -R 0600
The flash cookie problem was solved and I have not noticed anything has changed. Of course, I don't really see much flash other than flash ads - so it might break some things I am unaware of.
On windows the same directories are stored elsewhere - but the same overall technique should work fine I would think.
