Guardian · First run
The first-run experience
This is the guided setup Guardian shows the first time you open it. Click through all three steps.
Cookie cleanup, on autopilot.
Guardian deletes cookies you don’t trust — automatically, and fully on your device. Here’s exactly what it does, and what it never does.
WHAT IT DOES
✓ Delete cookies when you close tabs
✓ Let you whitelist trusted sites
✓ Keep an activity log
WHAT IT NEVER DOES
✕ Read or change page content
✕ Send your data anywhere
✕ Edit cookies (that’s Editor)
How should Guardian behave by default?
You can change this anytime, and override it per site.
Clean on close Recommended
Delete cookies when the last tab for a site closes. Whitelist the ones you trust.
Allow by default
Keep all cookies; only clean the sites you explicitly mark.
You’re protected.
Guardian is watching quietly in the background. Everything stays on your device — no account needed to start.
Default behavior: Clean on close Allow by default

All set — opening Guardian…
Pin the extension to your toolbar so it’s always one click away.
