Can you please help me understand the difference between the two screenshots?
Do both features accomplish the same? For example, on the second screenshot, what's the effect of adding websites under Allow (e.g., [*.]microsfot.com)? If I select "delete all cookies" will the Allow cookies remain and not be deleted?
I don't understand the difference between the new feature (first screenshot) and the second (old feature). Thanks!!

Hello,
they are actually the same,
when you add a site to be excluded from cookies deletion on close in this page:
edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
you will see the same site being listed in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
Thanks. Confirmed on the Canary channel, but still missing on Dev 83.0.467.0.
Has anyone tested to confirm that edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose only changes the interface? In other words, on the 83.0.467.0 will any sites added to "Allow" remain and not be deleted if you toggle clear "Cookies and other site data on close"? Thanks again!

Hello,
Version 83.0.467.0 won't have it because the minimum version needs to be at least 83.0.470 which was the first one that got this feature, that's regardless of the channel.

edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
you will see the same site being listed in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
in the "Allow" list. I've tested it myself multiple times since yesterday.
