Add ability to view and manage individual cookies stored per-website in brave://settings #27150

ShivanKaul · 2022-12-03T22:08:08Z

Description

You can't see individual cookies in brave://settings/cookies any more on Nightly. This must be a Chromium change, I see the same behaviour on Chrome Stable.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to brave://settings/cookies
There is no See all cookies and site data
Click on See all site data and permissions instead
You're redirected to brave://settings/content/all, but clicking on any website in that list sends you to something like brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2F, where you can modify permissions but can't see local stored data in detail.

Actual result:

Expected result:

and then clicking on Twitter gives you

Reproduces how often:

Easily

Brave version (brave://version info)

Nightly only 1.48.5 Chromium: 108.0.5359.48 (Official Build) nightly (arm64)

This is a UX consideration, but ideally we would bring back brave://settings/cookies/detail?site=xyz.com page which could be navigated to from the brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=xyz.com page.

as a side note, if this is the menu referred to in #12375, the trash icon in that never worked at all.

diracdeltas · 2022-12-05T22:09:03Z

NVM, the menu in #12375 seems to still be there and broken

@bridiver pointed out that you can also see cookies for the current site by clicking the lock icon in the left-hand side of the omnibox and selecting Cookies

kbulgrien · 2023-01-03T17:27:13Z

Another potential workaround uses Developer Mode albeit a bad UX for non-developers:

Hamburger Menu

Extensions

Developer Mode

To access cookies for a particular domain:

Browse to the domain

Ctrl-Shift-I

Network Tab (if not immediately visible, under >>)

Storage

Cookies

From there, right-clicking on a particular cookie offers a delete option and various inspection options also exist.

This is a UX consideration, but ideally we would bring back brave://settings/cookies/detail?site=xyz.com page which could be navigated to from the brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=xyz.com page.

IMO, this is more than a UX issue. It seems also a privacy regression in that it makes a user's stored private information more difficult to access and review. It should be possible to easily review what a site stores about visits to facilitate making changes to the way one interacts with a site.

NipLars · 2023-01-03T17:54:55Z

Agree - inspection of cookie detail is unfortunate that it's gone as they are stored in brave.
No need to visit a site again first.

Now you only see that it's 6 cookies, and ability to delete all.

Adding an item to this page

ShivanKaul · 2023-03-26T02:29:37Z

@spylogsster thanks! can you show a screenshot of what page you get when you click on the Cookies and Site Data item?
