I am still clueless as to how one would do the above. But I managed to solve my problem in a different way.

@Gif2D It is indeed

Next week is national holiday on Wednesday, day off for everyone on Thursday (some Christian thing), and a squeezed-in Friday that most everyone takes time off anyway. So hoping for one today too

I think it is very unlikely . And if holidays are involved, then... good 4th week of the month for the new snapshot!

They are cooking something, that's for sure.

How comes that even if I logged in into two different websites (vivaldi mail and facebook), Vivaldi says no cookies at all have being saved into my computer?

Shouldn't there be some session cookies, around?

is it a bug?

@newscpq Hi - I guess it depends... you are running in a private window, with at least 3 privacy-oriented extensions.

Now I don't understand how you'd still manage to stay signed in to FB/Webmail with no cookies but maybe one of your extensions handle it somehow.

Also, you need to change page in Settings to view any changes, just how it works in Vivaldi.

is it a bug?

Unless you can reproduce this in a clean profile, then I'd say no.

@newscpq The settings page will not record data (like counting cookies) from private windows. But cookies will still be set unless you disable cookies altogether.

newscpq

@lonm: this seems a little strange: if Vivaldi stores cookies in private windows, why the settings page wouldn't show those cookies so that they could be erased, as it happens in NON PRIVATE windows?

How comes that private browsing offers LESS cookies controls, compared to normal browsing?

strange, isn't it?

@newscpq This is because private windows are not intended for continuous use. They are meant to be temporary. The idea is you open one, browse, cookies you dont want are set, then you close the window and everything gets cleared.

The normal window records cookies, and because it saves cookies for a longer time, also gives you the option to clear them.

From a "privacy from cookies" view, there is no difference between re-opening a private window, or pressing a clear cookies button in a normal window.
