Better Cookie Management

thedayismine

@luetage Thanks for the heads up. Can you do the example functionality I'm describing in the post above yours?

I went back and tried. I can't figure it out.

@thedayismine This is not part of the feature request. If you’re signed in to one Google service, you’re signed in to all of them. One option is to use startpage search, which is a way to use Google search anonymously. Alternatively you could use drive and docs from an additional private window.

@thedayismine this would also require container separation with distinct cookie settings per container setup.

Both are features closely tied to the browser data storage.
Vivaldi is based on Chromium and both features are not in Google's interest.

I'd actually consider it still more likely (not easy) for a rebase of Vivaldi code on Firefox to happen.
I seem to remember Jon saying will not do some years ago, so I nobody get their hopes up.

@becm That’s never going to happen. Firefox was developing the Servo engine back when the Vivaldi team decided on the base. FF abandoned the project in the end, but I would guess the future was too uncertain and the decision fell on Blink. This is irreversible, because the Vivaldi UI uses this engine as foundation.

@luetage and the seams of implementing a browser UI inside a webview have always been showing.
I'm happy there is a spiritual successor to Opera, but with the current architecture I see no change of it even coming close in a technological sense:

issues with site isolation (site popups confusing mouse state in UI)
paste issues in address field
reduced overall flexibility due to Chromium's opinionated session data handling
Manifest V3 (equally uncertain feature)

The core renderer may be fine but too many UI thingies have to be hacked around restrictions and come apart way too often for my taste.

@luetage Any chance you've found how to add domains/sites to the "Global Permissions" list manually? The ability to add sites depends on the site itself asking for a specific permission, and you selecting a non-Default response.

It would be awesome if we could pre-load domains to set the Cookie settings without having to try and trigger a custom at random.

@andresej21 Use the + button in privacy settings under website permissions. This adds a domain.

@luetage I dont seem to have that + button:

luetage

@andresej21 Hmm, maybe you have to wait for an update. You should still be able to change any site setting on a domain directly and then edit any permission for this domain in settings.

@luetage How do you allow/session only/block on a global and per site level directly from the settings. I'm on the latest Vivaldi and I only see the option to delete all under cookie management.
