Follow up to #8604

After adding URL in brave://settings/cookies, the state in Brave Shields does not reflect actual state

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clean profile
  2. Open brave://settings/cookies
  3. add www.whatismybrowser.com in Sites than can always use cookies (do not check Including third-party cookies on this site)
  4. Open Return to www.whatismybrowser.com site and check cookie Shield settings

Actual result:

Brave Shields shows: Allow all cookies
But behaves differently (blocks 3rd party cookies)
image

Expected result:

Brave Shields shows: ??
Definitely not Allow all cookies as the definitions are different

Reproduces how often:

Yep, there is a bug in brave_shields_util.cc, should show 'block 3p' as it actually acts.

@rebron
Another case: we can "Allow all cookies" by default and then disable only first-party cookies for the site. The actual state will be "Allow only third party" (we haven't state for it in the bubble), in this case "Allow all cookies" will be displayed. What should we do?

The bug here is actually that shields reflects settings adding in brave://settings/cookies at all. Shields is a simplified UI by design and is not intended to cover the full range of all possible cookie settings. The shields UI should always show the value of the shields cookie settings which in this case would presumably be the default of block 3p. The setting in brave://settings/cookies will override that, but that does not change the value of the current shields cookie setting just like changing the shields cookie settings should not delete or change any settings manually added to brave://settings/cookies. For instance there is no equivalent shield setting to allow site.com including third-party cookies on this site because that translates into cookies for site.com being allowed whether they are first-party or third-party. The combination of shields settings and brave://settings/cookies will be applied correctly and non-default shields settings show up in brave://settings/cookies, but trying to create a drop-down option for every possible setting you can do in brave://settings/cookies is impractical and defeats the purpose.

@petemill re ^^ we could potentially show some kind of "warning" icon next to the shield settings if there are other settings that apply to the site in brave://settings/cookies

we probably can ask @rebron about potential UX updates

@btlechowski just to be clear this reverts an earlier incorrect change that showed the effective cookie setting instead of the brave shields cookie setting. The dropdown is now back to what it has always been before that and we should address what we want to do about the combination of chromium and brave cookie settings (either the warning icon or disable the ability to add chromium cookie settings) cc @pes10k
