Google Chrome Updates


A month ago I ran into an obscure Google Chrome bug on macOS that caused the "All cookies and site data" page in Chrome settings (chrome://settings/siteData) to load very slowly. Since then, some members of the Chromium team have been trying to track down the cause of the bug, a normal and boring process. However, this week I got an update on the issue that was shocking to me:

we are planning on deprecating that page and making chrome://settings/content/all the place to manage storage

Why fix bugs when you can dump the feature entirely?

They have hidden the original bug report: 1238756 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail

And here's the fix that should land in Chrome soon: 1238757 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail

Amazing Job, Google!
 
what kind of a blog was this lol.

i do think this is public knowledge for a few weeks now. i definitely remember reading about it on reddit or some chrome blog post.
 
It's amazing the lengths people go to defend Google.

I don't get why people think this is a move with some agenda, most likely they just don't think enough people use the single cookie deletion functionality to warrant having it in the settings vs the dev tools.
