@spylogsster
I found I found there is an issue seeing the individual cookies (from brave/brave-core#17746 -
Added back Chromium implementation of views to look for individual cookies stored per-website
) in Bravebrave://settings/content/all
for many domains where subdomains exist or where domains storages are done inwww.example.com
vsyoutube.com
like Youtube, where cookies are stored inyoutube.com
and the other storages are stored inwww.youtube.com
Take a look at this screenshot:

As you can see there is no
>
right arrow inyoutube.com
, because it was replaced by the up and down arrow to expand and collapse domains, and only inwww.youtube.com
and since there is no arrow to go to
youtube.com
and only to expand per 'subdomains', permissions orCookies and Site Data
button, can't be accessed unless the URL is manually changed to remove thewww.
part of it:brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F
tobrave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com%2F
Once done that, then the Cookies and Site Data button will go to the correct place.

For example, this is what you get when you go to
, so it doesn't include the cookies since they were added in the
www.youtube.com
one.youtube.com
one, and for Browser's logic, they are different things, even the permissions are set differently, because one will be seen as domain and the other as subdomain I assume?Anyway, I tested in a complete new User Data to avoid any issues with flags and anything else and same behavior, I also tested in Stable version and same issue where Expanding/Collapse arrow will replace it.
I must admit I rarely use this feature, but today I was testing Youtube and I saw I had to manually edit the URL to get the cookies, so not a big deal for me, but Brave team might want to fix the issue since it can mess with many domains, like
live.com
is another example, where you can't really access thelive.com
information, so you don't get to see all the cookies 32 cookies Brave says it has, and you can only access 24.Missing all these 8 cookies, only because
live.com
can't be accessed once a subdomain takes place.Thank you and have a good day.
