Cookie without expiration time doesn't deletes with browser restart
-
@AlexeyB If you start Vivaldi with settings Last Session such cookies with session lifetime get not removed. They are deleted if you do not start with Last Session.
In 2018 a dev said:
Looking closer, it seems to be expected behavior when Vivaldi is configured to Startup with Last Session.
For other startup options session cookies are cleared properly.
Chromium behaves similarly, just default startup options are different.https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=128513

@DoctorG Thanks for the explanation. Strange, I can reproduce the "issue" in Chrome 104 as well. But not in Chromium 104...

Foe me with Chromium 104.0.5112.81 from Woolyss after restart stating with new tab, the session cookie was removed, checked for domain at chrome://settings/siteData

️ Not a bug, seems to be a Chromium feature since years for better login after restart. -

Yeah, that's the version I have too. That's what I meant was a bit strange - Chrome kept the cookie after restart, Chromium deleted it. So different behaviour in Chromium and Chrome...

Googled Chrome is not Chromium as you see. Bad, but true.
For me Chrome is not for daily use on my office PC, only on one workstation for testing in a innocent Linux VM.

For me Chrome deletes session cookies after restart when there chosen startup with new tab in settings.
Tested on: Chrome 104.0.5112.81 (x64), Windows 7 (x64) -
@AlexeyB Yes, exactly, but with setting "Continue where you left off" Chrome also preserves session cookies. Just like Vivaldi does with "Last Session" setting.
Apparently, according to the Chromium bug report linked above, this is to avoid users getting logged out when using sessions and closing the browser, expecting it to keep its state after restart.
