It is still in 'Settings', guys. It's in chrome://settings/content/all instead of chrome://settings/siteData . Read the third and fourth sentences of the linked article. You will literally be able to browse to it in Settings. I do have to commend you on the bold tone while being so misleading, though. Haha, good stuff. I propose a Law of Increasing Internet Indignation: indignation is a monotonically decreasing funct…
Regarding renewiltord's law. Physician heal thyself. > If you click the disclosure triangle for one of the entries, you see… well, basically nothing about the site data. And there are no delete buttons for individual cookies. The only button is "Clear data", an all or nothing option. Site guidelines suggest that you ought to assume good faith on the part of your conversational partners and responsd courteously to the…
I picked my words kind of carefully. "Clear all the cookies for the gov site". It'll solve the problem. Then the other guy misunderstood and thought it was a DevTools not Settings issue. Literally the problem does not require "clear one cookie" functionality.
That's not good faith interpretation. That's wholesale misinterpretation which is either incompetence or malice. If you want to play the whole "good faith" game, you actually need good faith.
You're all privacy groupies. You don't know anything about actual privacy. You're just an outrage squad. You know it. I know it. But you're performing for some absent audience that supposedly can't tell.
Fine, this site is yours. Keep it. I'll go play with the shellfish.

What a weird design. Listing and viewing would often be done when you want to "clean things up, but not everything. Disclosure: never used or saw safari, and i don't have a mac, nor the mac nature.
What is the mac nature?
It's either an internally consistent UX or matching belt and shoes, depending on who you ask.

#234I decided a while ago that I should move away from Chrome and I’ve quite liked Edge but thinking about it I really don’t trust them either. I still don’t love Firefox on Mac OS, what else should I try?

Firefox is not as performant as Chrome is. This is something a web developer will have come across, if not an average user.
While Chrome performance is obviously better for browsing, somehow opening DevTools makes it work much slower. As for casual user, installing ad-blocker makes web browsing way faster.
If you leave Disable Cache checked under the network tab, the web will be substantially slower with dev tools open. This is (likely) the default setting, because it's important for testing.

i have been using qutebrowser for quite some time now. it uses QtWebEngine based on chromium but it's a project entirely unique apart from that. vim-based comtrol scheme and relatively mininmal approach.

Demand the break up of Google! Now! Email your reps. Tell them this is dangerous and that Google shouldn't be allowed to run the entire web. Take chrome away!
The issue here is that "making a web browser" isn't a sustainable business. You could force Google to spin off Chrome...and then what? The new "Chrome Inc." would probably need to either start integrating ads or start charging money to even have a chance at not immediately going under. The only reason Firefox is even able to exist is Google propping them up with lots of extra money.
There are some interesting experiments around Firefox forks funded by Patreon. Though not sure how viable they are against a hostile web.

#238Anyone here ever wanted a UI outside of the Devtools for deleting individual keys out of a site’s localStorage? No? Didn’t think so. If this individual-cookies-manager settings page didn’t already exist, would you think it worth it to introduce one? More worth it than an individual-localStorage-keys-manager (which clearly nobody is scrabbling for)? If so, why?
Ummm loads of time I end up in weird redirect loops that I solve by deleting cookies one-by-one.
When dealing with cookies I don’t want to just wipe all of them! Sometimes I just want to deal with some of them. Not as a developer but as a user of the SSO multidomain 20-redirect hellscape
Re: Google Chrome to remove detailed cookie and site data controls
#239We're getting into the scary space now where it's becoming feasible for sites to insist on Chrome and drop support for other browsers. I've hit two such apps in the last month where not only did the app not work on FireFox, but the experience was completely broken (blank page, etc). So they aren't even bothering with enough testing to put up a "please use chrome" message. I use FireFox for everything personal and Chr…
I wonder how many of us do this. I used to use Firefox for everything personal (e.g. social media) and opera for anything that's completely impersonal (e.g. I'd log into news sites) and work related. Lately Brave has replaced FireFox for everyday use; I only use Firefox for things that require being logged in to Google, like Google Calendar and YouTube.

Why Safari? The only sane choice is Firefox.
Or Brave. Safari gives me too many issues. Brave has all the compatibility you'd expect from chromium.
I dont know much about Brave but thinking of moving to Brave on Mobile for ad blocking. Is Brave trustworthy for saving my Google credentials and credit card in the Browser?
