Dev channel update to 90.0.782.0 is live
"No. If you check this box, you will allow all third-party cookies from the entered URL, not just cookies for the domain itself."
I meant and said the same thing, lol. I've seen how it works and I understand it
"Just block third-party cookies and don't allow any specific. Then enable 'clear cookies' here edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose with exception for 'google.com' and another domains you want."
I've already tried that, there is a problem with this method.
the checkbox for allowing 3rd party cookies in edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
does not work the same way as the checkbox in edge://settings/content/cookies
the former allows 3rd party cookies of that domain to be saved in the browser and accessed. the latter only lets the 3rd party cookies of that domain to be saved/kept, not accessed.
hope it's clearer now to understand the problem.
"I think the idea of sending your personal data to some company to sync already violates privacy."
if you really believe in that then you shouldn't be using Internet at all. the moment you are connected, some company has your data and knows what you are doing, starting with your ISP.
if not ISP, then the secure DNS server you might be using. if not, then the VPN server provider that you might be using. there is no escape.
Sync is very harmless in comparison, and the advantages it provides outweigh any possible disadvantages.

Ok. You have example.com
This website contains cookies from the domain itself and bunch of third-party such as google analytics, etc. If you allow example.com cookies without a checkbox, you only allow cookies from that domain, even if they are presented as third-party. But these will only be the example.com cookies. If you check this box, you allow domain cookies and all these trackers located on example.com with different domains.
This is how I understand this checkbox.
Let's look at a different angle.
There is an option to enable all cookies and an option to block third-party.
If you don't allow the use of cookies, you can use the “allow list” to allow certain cookies.
If you allow all cookies and don't block third-party, then "allow list" doesn't make any sense, you already allow everything.
If you allow all cookies and block third-party, then "allow list" may give you the ability to allow certain third-party cookies, since you only block third-party cookies.
About "clear cookies". In the first place you can clear a few but save many, in the second you can clear all but save a few. I think that's the difference.
Sorry if my English is bad. I tried my best.

Thank you, that's very helpful.
Your English is fine,
I needed that different angle 🙂
now I'm doing this
and I added sites I frequently visit to the Allow list, with the checkbox to allow 3rd party cookies of certain websites.
everything is working as expected now.
I can log into YouTube, which saves Google cookies on my computer, and then I go to Reddit but the site no longer offers me to create an account with Google, because Reddit no longer reads Google cookies on my browser.
