It is still in 'Settings', guys. It's in chrome://settings/content/all instead of chrome://settings/siteData . Read the third and fourth sentences of the linked article. You will literally be able to browse to it in Settings.

I do have to commend you on the bold tone while being so misleading, though. Haha, good stuff. I propose a Law of Increasing Internet Indignation: indignation is a monotonically decreasing function of knowledge.

Regarding renewiltord's law.

Physician heal thyself.

> If you click the disclosure triangle for one of the entries, you see… well, basically nothing about the site data. And there are no delete buttons for individual cookies. The only button is "Clear data", an all or nothing option.

Site guidelines suggest that you ought to assume good faith on the part of your conversational partners and responsd courteously to the good faith interpretation of their words.

I suggest you have simply misunderstood what people are complaining about.

I picked my words kind of carefully. "Clear all the cookies for the gov site". It'll solve the problem. Then the other guy misunderstood and thought it was a DevTools not Settings issue. Literally the problem does not require "clear one cookie" functionality.

That's not good faith interpretation. That's wholesale misinterpretation which is either incompetence or malice. If you want to play the whole "good faith" game, you actually need good faith.

You're all privacy groupies. You don't know anything about actual privacy. You're just an outrage squad. You know it. I know it. But you're performing for some absent audience that supposedly can't tell.

Fine, this site is yours. Keep it. I'll go play with the shellfish.
