Description

Description

Upstream Chromium has removed the cookie page which let you view all cookies for a site. We brought it back briefly by disabling the kDeprecateCookiesTreeModel flag in #37030, but CR 125 immediately removed that flag which caused the page to be broken again.

Note that users can already view cookies by going to a page and seeing/editing cookies via DevTools => Application => Cookies. That workaround doesn't address the use-case of seeing cookies for a page without actually visiting it, but if we want to address that use-case it needs to be a whole new feature; patching and tweaking upstream code is too brittle at this point. In the meantime this page is actively broken in Release and we should fix ASAP: #38578.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to brave://settings/content/all
  2. Select a site e.g. github.com (brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2F)
  3. Go to Cookies and Site Data (brave://settings/cookies/detail?site=github.com)
