#2Seems like there should be a bug report to include more detailed information on the new page.

#3> By the way, before anyone runs off and yells "Switch to Safari" or something like that, keep in mind that Safari is actually in a worse state and doesn't have detailed cookie and site information at all.
It does, but it's split between two places. You can see a list of all sites that have stored data in Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data... (no option to view here, just delete).
You can also navigate to the site in the browser and then view the detailed data:
- Check "Show Develop menu in menu bar" in Preferences > Advanced
- Develop > Show Web Inspector
- Navigate to the Storage tab
On the left you'll see options for Cookies, Local Storage & Session Storage.

Same for Chrome so not sure what this article is about.

Why Safari? The only sane choice is Firefox.

From the blog it sounds like Chrome's will be in a similar state after the update. Just another thing I'll have to navigate to in a tedious manner.

#8Sounds like Chrome is moving more toward being a surveillance tool and ad delivery platform that also browses the web (well, more than it is right now anyway).

#9Seems reasonable. If you want detailed information about the contents of individual cookies that's what developer tools are for. A simple "clear data" button seems far more usable for normal users.

Sure, both browsers have developer tools. This is much more opaque than a Settings menu.
