They do nothing for IP tracking. Even Tor Browser does not sanitize in-session e.g. when you request a new circuit. A new ID requires _both_ full sanitizing _and_ a new IP. The same applies to Firefox - ❗️Cookie extensions can lack APIs or implementation of them to properly sanitize - e.g. at the time of writing: [Cookie Auto Delete](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/)
