Report that Google Chrome is about to discontinue the "All Cookies and Site Data" admin page

× Software

App developer Jeff Johnson reports that Google is removing the page that manages Chrome's cookie details and centralizing it into a page that can only be "deleted" simply. Google Chrome to remove detailed cookie and site data controls https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/chrome-cookie.html Around August 2021, Johnson said, "Using Chrome version 92.0.4515.107 on macOS 10.14.6, When I try to open all cookies and site data (chrome: // settings / siteData), it takes a few minutes to load. " He pointed out that it is a version 92 specific bug as he resolves by reverting the Chrome version to 91.

The Chrome development team is trying to figure out the cause of the bug, but in the process, it removes the "All Cookies and Site Data" page and displays the permissions and data stored on the site "All Sites (chrome:). I left a comment in the bug report saying that it should be centralized in "/ // settings / content / all)". However, Johnson points out that centralization makes it impossible to check the details of cookies. "All cookies and site data" and "All sites" are similar at first glance, but they can do different things. The list display of "All cookies and site data" looks like this.

You can delete each cookie or data by clicking the individual site information.

On the other hand, the list display of "all sites" is almost the same.

However, even if there are multiple cookies, you can only select "Delete data", and you cannot delete only a specific cookie.

Johnson points out that this change may be due to a bug that occurred when implementing an integrated version of site storage. The first comment in the bug report says "Implementation bug of Issue 1238756 ", but Issue 1238756 is private to the general public, and the development team accidentally leaked information in the bug report, Johnson said. I guessed. "As far as I know, there is no public debate about this change. In my opinion, it's not a welcome change," Johnson said.
