When I turn on 3rd party cookie blocking, and add
to the allow list of cookies
this causes Google and YouTube cookies to be read and accessed in Reddit and other sites, Even though 3rd party Cookie blocking is enabled.
Edge (or Chromium in general, since it happens on Chrome 88 stable too) is confused.
that Allow list is for allowing certain cookies to enter or stay in the browser,
the Allow list is Not a 3rd party cookie bypass list.
my actual setup and configuration was more complex but I had to do lots of testing to find out why Reddit still detects and asks me to sign into my Google account when 3rd party cookie blocking is enabled!

i actually have reproduced it on the "stable" channel. i navigate through a website who use paypal (without clicking on any link to paypal) and if i go to edge://settings/siteData, i see there is a third party cookie from paypal.com.
But in case of youtube and reddit i can't reproduce since i don't connect myself to reddit.

@Pajenterprises260 yes it's why insider like @HotCakeX and me are for, found an unexpected behavior in the software, confirm the bug and report it to the dev like that they can fix it before any blackHat/Tracker/Ads use it for evil thing.

Yes exactly,
well how do you feel about it?
I shared my thoughts on it here

So with the help of @eddiezato I figured out the correct way to achieve what I was looking for
Must disable these toggles
and then 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.
