New Feature in Edge: Provide option to keep specific cookies when closing Edge browser
Also more explainers added to the cookies page to help understand what the options exactly do
in Edge Version 83.0.470.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

The only thing that concerns me is that for security reasons it does not encrypted the website address and leaves them for anyone that is snooping to see.....
But then again, does it really matter....

- Website addresses don't need to be encrypted, they are publicly known to everyone.
they are not passwords to be secret- Yeah, but do you want people to know where you are banking, who your broker is etc... and such.....

Can you please help me understand the difference between the two screenshots?
Do both features accomplish the same? For example, on the second screenshot, what's the effect of adding websites under Allow (e.g., [*.]microsfot.com)? If I select "delete all cookies" will the Allow cookies remain and not be deleted?
I don't understand the difference between the new feature (first screenshot) and the second (old feature). Thanks!!

Hello,
they are actually the same,
when you add a site to be excluded from cookies deletion on close in this page:
edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
you will see the same site being listed in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
Thanks. Confirmed on the Canary channel, but still missing on Dev 83.0.467.0.
Has anyone tested to confirm that edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose only changes the interface? In other words, on the 83.0.467.0 will any sites added to "Allow" remain and not be deleted if you toggle clear "Cookies and other site data on close"? Thanks again!
