What the hell happened to Google? Who are these complete idiots running the show?
The same idiots looking ad and data mining revenue, and then seeing what their customer's demands are. Their customers being the ones who are buying services from Google. Not you. You're the product .
If the audience is the product, Google still has an interest in selling a quality product. That means not running off more and more of the most tech savvy "product" segment.
If you don't trust a site, delete its content or block it. It's not an invasion of your privacy because the UI doesn't let you pick apart the individual bits of encoded gobbledygook in the cookies.

Damn. And we lost Servo just when it was getting close to being not shitty. While everything else is moving towards more shitty.
We lost the servo team, but isn't servo complete enough to simmer in maintenance?
MAYBE, if you want a browsing engine / "webview".
I'm privacy conscious but would not consider looking at such detailed information. For me it's delete all site state on exit. Do people actually look at this stuff?
Non-developer hat: PlayStation Network store also had a bug where you'd be logged in, but unable to buy anything. Instead of deleting all data you could delete one cookie and it would temporarily resolve the issue.

Tired of this excuse. If the audience is the product, Google still has an interest in selling a quality product. That means not running off more and more of the most tech savvy "product" segment.

Why do you think the most tech savvy segment is the target audience? Do you have any idea how many advertising dollars there are in the 12-17 and 18-24 brackets?

Developer bias, but being able to delete individual cookies is invaluable. Non-developer hat: PlayStation Network store also had a bug where you'd be logged in, but unable to buy anything. Instead of deleting all data you could delete one cookie and it would temporarily resolve the issue.
