I have my cookies autodeleted on a regular basis because I prefer my browsing sessions and activity to not be linked for surveillance purposes.

The use of a password manager makes re-logging-in effortless.

I have a specific firefox container group for github and a few other applications so that it's not leaking cookies. No need to relogin.

GitHub still knows all of your individual visits to GitHub, and which repos you viewed. Most of the time I don’t want to be browsing GitHub itself whilst logged in. I don’t like or trust Microsoft with my location or waking hours or browsing history.
