What happened to the cookie features? I use Opera on a Windows 10 desktop and I used to be able to disable all cookies from all sites and then only allow the ones I wanted. There are valid reasons for this, which I will explain at the end for those who may be interested. As of Opera v107 cookie features are gone. Under the older version I would disable cookies from all sites, and then there were thee options available:
Sites that can always use cookies
Always clear cookies when windows are closed
Sites that can never use cookies
I would then populate these lists as per my need. I've searched the settings and the only option I can find are to allow or disable third party cookies. The behavior is still there. In other words if I go to a site that did not use to be on my exception list and they require cookies the site won't work, but I can no longer add the site to my exception list.
This feature was available in Firefox, but they took it away a few years ago, which made me look for a new browser and I found Opera and is absolutely the only feature that has kept me using Opera. If it's not coming back soon I'll be removing Opera from my system as it's useless. I still use Firefox for a few sites like Comcast and my old company's retirement site where Opera does not work so if I can't have this feature I will use Firefox for everything.
Here's the extra info and my reasons for wanting this feature for those who may be interested. I run two copies of Opera on my system, one under my ID and one that uses runas to run a second copy of Opera browser under an ID with very limited access. By default I use the second one; that way if I go to a site that has malicious code or malware the access they will have should be under that ID with limited access. I have also found some sites like hotels.com and amazon sometimes show different prices when you are logged in and do a search as opposed to when you are not. So I do my search and find what I want and since they are under "Always clear cookies when windows are closed" I won't be logged in and I can see the price as it should be. Then I select what I want and log into my account. If the price goes up I contact them and complain, but since I did that to hotels.com a couple of times they have not done it to me again. So it's a really, really good feature to have. An absolute must for me.
