Looks like cookie handling is still screwed up in some cases.

Reverting to 29.0.3.0

I have not noticed a problem with cookies, but password handling is definitely screwed up.

Too bad about the amount of space that the tiny Chromium tab-search button inexplicably reserves to its left (the space on the right is there regardless). I'd rather remove it (via flag) than live with that despite its utility. Ideally it would push itself right to make room for more tabs.

And has this feature replaced the hamburger menu that used to be nearby to show a list of tabs? That's nowhere to be found now, even with many tabs open, though I'm not sure it was in v29, either.

The cookie problem:

Most of the cookie problems with version 30 are fixed, but this deal killer remains.

1) Settings configured to delete cookies on exit.
2) Go to a retail website.
3) Pay using PayPal, which opens up a pop-up window.
4) When the pop-up window closes, all cookies cleared.

This is bad because the cookies for session with the transaction in the main window (and any other sessions in other tabs) are all cleared.

In general, closing a second window of any type (other than incognito) clears all cookies as if closing the application entirely.
Works OK in the latest Brave, so it's not a Chrome bug.

Reported and partially fixed (it was also doing it for incognito windows in version 30).

I didn't notice at first in version 31 because I so rarely open a second regular window and prevent almost all pop-ups.

If you want a list of tabs, the "Tab" item in the main menu bar will show you that.

Yes, but I can't figure out where you mean, having looked through the menu. But maybe you mean a toolbar button. If so, I also don't see it there.

The one that I knew about was a button directly to the right of the last tab. It's now gone, possibly intentionally (if so, then it's because of the tab search feature).

31.0.2.0 is out.

Try and if you don't succeed.

I just don't want to give up on Slimjet.

Will report back soon.

I have the exact same issue, just upgraded from 29 to 31.0.2 and the "hamburger" button to open the list of tabs has been replaced by a droplist/arrow "Search Tabs" button... the issue being that it takes 10 times the space it should! So my tabs bar is squeezed to the left instead of going to the right of the screen. Here's a screenshot with a red ellipse showing the issue, please fix this soon!


I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.

If you look at the main menu bar, the Tab item is between Profiles and Window.
