I hate Cookies, is there an alternative solution?

I’ve been wanting to make this app (maybe my own fork of Epiphany) where instead of using cookies for keeping the user logged it, it would use some other technique instead.

Im not a programmer, but I am plan on going to college in January for software engineering. Im just wanting to make this app so I can have a secure safe space for my accounts, without relying on cookies.

also, is there some cool iOS safari extensions on the AppStore i could use for better privacy if this cookie removal app idea isn’t possible? Just wondering.

  • Server sided: if that gets hacked?
  • Locally: if system gets compromised?
  • End2End: lost keys? (to be fair save those key’s somewhere in your physical notebook)

Some modified version of Passkeys maybe?

The main problem is that both the service and the broswer/device need to support it.

So there isn’t really an alternative because that would require rebuilding the way the internet as a whole currently works.

Since the start of 2023 I’ve been thinking of strategies how I could make an app like this. It’s just too confusing for me that I might as well work on my own fork of Epiphany.

But yeah, I had that same thought as well that.
