@mossman Yeah, it's only an issue for people on stable at this point, guess they have to wait for a month if it doesn't work out of the box for them (and they don't want to meddle with it).
I do want to stay on stable, and don't mind doing a little work to get it to show. But my use case is a bit different than others. And if resetting my profile is going to blow away my cookie exceptions, I don't want to spend hours manually restoring ~400 domain level exceptions to allow cookies.
I have Vivaldi set to never accept cookies, and for certain sites I just put a [*.]domain.com exception to accept them. But there is currently no way to export/import that list to my knowledge. So after having done all that work initially, I'm weary of doing something that would recreate hours of manual data entry for myself.
If there was another way to get it working, or better yet a way to export my cookie exceptions list and import after resetting, I wouldn't mind manually going through the basic Vivaldi settings manually. That'll only take 10 minutes or so.

@craftbrewmaster Are you even sure that your exceptions get deleted? You can always backup the folder you are about to delete and copy it back in if you lose them. Only do editing of the files with Vivaldi closed btw.
Another option is to use an extension to handle exceptions (with import/export) like vanilla cookie manager.

@craftbrewmaster Install the latest snapshot as a Standalone version, then it won't mess with your Stable version. Just use a different shortcut to launch it.

Not certain, but not worth the risk either. Another few weeks ain't that long to wait for the new feature. I looked at Vanilla Cookie Manager awhile back, I'm not sure if things have changed but I don't believe it handles what I need it to do. It handles actual cookies, rather than cookie exceptions.

Nah, I don't need a copy of Vivaldi running side-by-side. I've got too many browsers installed currently as it is. Of course doing that wouldn't even work to show me my history, because it's a separate browser. I'd prefer to stay on stable releases for a reason. I've done the whole beta tester thing for far too long, and keeping this system on more stable software is my preference. It's not a huge deal, but it is broken in my release; it's also an experimental feature, and that's probably why it's not moved into the normal stream of settings, there are still bugs to be worked out.
Please don't take this as knocking Vivaldi, I love it, and it's become my default browser. Looking forward to all the new features as they get implemented in the main code branch.
