It's true that Chrome prioritizes a simple UX. We do this so that we can suit the needs of a wide audience while not wasting our engineering effort; telemetry shows that very few people ever open Settings at all, let alone use the advanced features you propose.

Firefox has a somewhat different philosophy, and that is great!

In the meantime, you can use the Content Settings UX (see screenshot) to block or clear site data. If you don't trust a site, you can either not browse to it or you can browse it in Incognito Mode, in which whatever data it stores will be destroyed when you close the last Incognito tab.

If you do have a specific feature request, I suggest you file a new, politely-written bug with the Extensions or UX labels, specifying exactly what you need to achieve your goals. You can use the Defect Report From User template, or the Privacy Issue template (see screenshot).

I wouldn't call it simple UX. A simple UX is one that explains itself and is easy to use.
A basic UX is restrictive and limits what you can do.
Chrome have a basic UX.

Firefox have a slightly simple UX (they are in progress of making a chrome clone, ugh) but at the moment it allows advanced users the freedom to do complicated things, for now at least. Everyone's happy. It's all about common sense smart design.

The Content Settings UX doesn't provide any settings of controlling the storage containers mentioned above. Even the cookie settings are very basic and simply unusable.

The Clear Browser data, clears everything. I can't pick and choose nor is it an acceptable way because it's manual.

> We do this so that we can suit the needs of a wide audience while not wasting our engineering effort;

It's debatable that you're not already wasting engineering effort. You're also getting help from free volunteers. Free resources.

> telemetry shows that very few people ever open Settings at all, let alone use the advanced features you propose.

I don't know specifically how you collect telemetry but I should remind you that 'statistics lie'.
See "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics
I could suggest some books too.
Seems like you're doing the same mistake Microsoft is. Using flawed telemetry as an excuse for everything.

> If you don't trust a site, you can either not browse to it or you can browse it in Incognito Mode, in which whatever data it stores will be destroyed when you close the last Incognito tab.

Come now. Logical fallacy nearly straight from the book. Let's replace site with human. Sometimes you must interact with humans you don't trust.
Let's replace site with car. Do you avoid all cars you don't trust. Oh right, you can't.

As a human you must acquire the knowledge to protect yourself just as the browser must acquire the security and privacy settings to protect itself (and the user). eg from leaking data, fingerprinting, etc.

The way Incognito Mode is designed in Chrome is insecure. It leaks information (security, privacy, tracking. If it was a rain coat I would buy a new one.
Many issues have been reported already some months and years old yet you ignore them.

> If you do have a specific feature request

This was a specific feature request but I could split up this bug but as a developer I would consider that spamming since their all the same thing. Current UX (and extension API) limits the ability for the user to protect itself making Google responsible when something happens because Google tied the users hands, unable to do anything.

> politely-written

Was something impolitely-written?

>  bug with the Extensions or UX labels

Afaik, the backend doesn't support these new suggested improved UX settings. Should I still place them there anyway?

> specifying exactly what you need to achieve your goals.

What was unclear? Why didn't you ask?
It's really vexing when people complain that something was unclear but doesn't ask questions before that. Such a waste of time. It's just unnecessary and inefficient.

How did you get to that in the screenshot? I can't find it. Searched under the 'new issue' button. If I had seen it I would have used it.

I'm all ears... eyes, waiting for your reply.
