*UPDATED* Dev channel update to 88.0.705.9 is live

josh_bodner The new cookies UI is worse in my opinion.  It requires more clicks and displays less info by default.  For example, here are a few of the entries I see with the the new UI.

As you can see, there is limited info displayed and no interaction is possible without the newly required click on the down arrow.  After expanding, I see the following which, while exposing the controls to interact with the hosts, takes far more screen space than the old UI so it both requires more clicks and is less efficient in space.

   In contrast, here is the old UI.  Fewer clicks and denser presentation.  The major flaw with the old UI is the lack or sorting.  The host name list should be sorted by public suffix then prefix, the sort order used for passwords on edge://settings/passwords.

   Please explain the supposed improvements of the new UI as more clicks and lower information density are both negative to me.

   On a related note, please promote edge://settings/content/cookies to its own entry in the settings categories separate from site permissions to which it is insignificant enough to occupy only a small fraction of the top of the page logically and physically isolated from the site permissions.  I admit that it may be me but I don't understand why these are combined at all, especially since the connection is reduced to something as tenuous as the single link below that results in two clicks required instead of one to get to the cookies page

   And on that subject, the header of edge://settings/content/cookies, "Cookies and data stored / Cookies and site data", is both redundant and inconsistent.  You could use "Cookies and stored data" but not all data to which it applies is stored (e.g. session data).  "Cookies and site data" is fine though you should make up your mind whether to use the term site or website as Edge uses both in its UI.
