can't re-enable javascript for a site in incognito mode

Reported by zac.spit...@gmail.com, Sep 12 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3549.0 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. use a VPN to get an EU ip address to trigger the GDPR acceptance screen
2. in a normal window open https://www.washingtonpost.com/ and then block javascript via site settings
3. open an incognito window and open https://www.washingtonpost.com/
4. you will be redirected to the GDPR consent page which requires javascript and you get a mostly blank page
5. click secure and enable javascript again, a reload page banner is then shown
6. click the blue reload page button

What is the expected behavior?
the incognito page should load with javascript enabled

What went wrong?
javascript is still disabled

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 71.0.3549.0  Channel: canary

zac.spitzer@ Thanks for the issue.

VPN setup is not available at TE end to test and confirm this issue. Hence adding 'TE-NeedsTriageHelp' and requesting the appropriate team to look into the issue and help in further triaging.

Thanks..

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this, but I could not reproduce it.
I am in Germany, hence no VPN is required, and used latest Canary on Windows 10.
Here are my steps:
1- Washington post in regular mode, disabled JS.
2- Washington post in incognito, saw a blank white page.
3- Enabled JS, refreshed the page (I did not see the re-load bar).
4- Washington post was seen normally.

Do you have any suggestion on what I might have missed?

It works when changing Javascript from Block to Allow, but when changing from Block to Allow (default) it doesn't

Thank you, I could reproduce it.
Choosing 'Allow' in incognito mode sets the permission, but choosing 'Allow (default)' does not, probably because incognito mode cannot change the default value.

Kamila,
Would you like to take a look?
