i actually have reproduced it on the "stable" channel. i navigate through a website who use paypal (without clicking on any link to paypal) and if i go to edge://settings/siteData, i see there is a third party cookie from paypal.com.

Hey, thanks for testing,
did you add "PayPal.com" to the Allow list prior to going to that website ?
you don't need to have a reddit account, i don't.
if you are logged into Google and YouTube, those cookies will be read by reddit website, offering you to create a reddit account using those sites.
yes the problem is reproducible on Google Chrome stable 88, Edge stable 88 all the way to Edge canary 90.

- no i don't use paypal (i have a prepaid master card (i add fund on it instantly) so paypal isn't usefull to me
The only website autorized is the website who have the paypal object on it, if i deny this website the paypal cookie don't appear again (so it must be a thirs party cookie)Yes exactly,
well how do you feel about it?
I shared my thoughts on it here
