Dev channel update to 89.0.723.0 is live
josh_bodner Hi, it's been 2 updates since and still no fix on this: Losing ability to set permission for individual cookies - Microsoft Tech Community. It's not even acknowledged in "Known Issue" too for last 2 updates.
Is there really no one reporting this other than me and HotCakeX ? Individual cookie permission capability is make or break for me, and with this breaking down for 4-5 updates since, I might have to return to Chrome 
Thanks

Yup, I keep testing it after every version of canary that i install and so far nothing
Version 89.0.729.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
to show again how easy it is to reproduce this issue:
Step 1:
in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
Step 2:
do a search in Bing, Google, visit a page that has cookies etc.
Step 3:
Step 4:
when we press "Allow" or "Clear upon exit", none of those domains are added to the respective lists in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
HotCakeX It looks like that Cookies In Use popup needs a lot of love in general. If you click on specific cookies instead of overall categories in the Block tab, it grays out the Allow and Clear Upon Exit buttons entirely, which suggests that they're completely not functional (as you've seen) but they forgot to gray them out when you click on the top-level category. That, along with the off-spec scrollbar and many dark theme glitches with dark text on dark background, makes me thing that this is either something we shouldn't be showing to begin with, or is in the process of being replaced, so let me ask the team about it.
josh_bodner I confirmed with the feature owner that we are indeed in the process of completely replacing the Cookies In Use dialog with our own implementation, which is why this one has fallen into a state of disrepair (some of our underlying changes must have unintentionally changed something this was relying on). We expect the new one to be ready by the time 89 goes to Beta (or sooner!), so they're still deciding on making fixes to this one in the meantime.

If that's the case then it's alright, knowing that something better is on the way is enough for me, can leave this one as it is.

Hi,
when I click on specific cookies instead of overall categories in the Block tab
I find it expected and normal for the "allow" and "clear upon exit" buttons to gray out, because at that point I'm selecting "cookies" folder, which is not anything specific and only shows me contents of that cookie.
but why should they be grayed out when I select "bing.com" ? what I expect (same as other user) is for those buttons to work and add the top level domain that we select to the respective lists in here
edge://settings/content/cookies
- josh_bodner but it wasn't like that 5-6 dev release ago, and even current Google Chrome implementation allows individual cookies to be unblocked/marked "Clear upon exit" in that "Cookies In Use" popup. Removing this feature is definitely not a good thing for usability (it forces us to manually type in the address in the setting page, instead of what wasn't broken way of just click the individual cookie and click allow).
