Dev channel update to 83.0.478.5 is live
I've been having an issue that not everything is clearing when you select to clear browsing data on close. It mainly seems to be cookies that aren't clearing. I have not added anything to the Do Not Clear section. Of course, not clearing all the data will automatically log you into sites that should be requesting a password.
Russ_Turrentine it might not be that your cookies aren't being successfully cleared, it might just be that any passwords you saved are automatically signing you back into the websites without asking you:
Do you have any examples of cookies that aren't related to login that you don't see getting cleared?
I've been checking every couple of day when I open the browser. Cookies aren't being cleared even though it is selected to clear on close. I noticed this started a little over a week ago when the option was added to save selected cookies. I've reported it through feedback a couple of times. I believe I had 138 cookies when I checked this morning on Dev.
Here is a fresh session from Canary:
I would expect there to be none as it was before that feature was added. Am I missing something?
Russ_Turrentine hmm, it might be useful to figure out exactly which cookies aren't getting deleted. For example, I turned on the setting to continue browsing where I left off (so no new pages would be loaded when I opened the browser), turned on the setting to delete cookies on exit (with no exceptions), then opened a single tab to edge://settings/siteData, which lists every cookie I have. I then closed and re-opened the browser (which brought it back to that Settings page). I didn't have 0 cookies, but the only ones I did have were for Bing and Office, in order to provide single sign-on. If you have cookies from other specific sites upon re-launch, it might be useful to see if you can reproduce the behavior in both Dev and Canary, just to rule out something funky about one of your installs.
