Hi @PassionPenguin, and thanks for the update! I've got a few comments for you.

- choosing the _Custom_ Content Blocking and unchecking the _Cookies_ checkbox
- Going to _Preferences > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection_ and either
- adding an exception with the _Manage Exceptions_… button
- choosing the _Custom_ Content Blocking and unchecking the _Tracker_ checkbox

Suggested change
- choosing the _Custom_ Content Blocking and unchecking the _Tracker_ checkbox
- choosing the _Custom_ Content Blocking and unchecking the _Tracker_ checkbox.

Also, under the "Custom" ETP option, there are checkboxes for "Cookies" and "Tracking content", but not "Tracker".

It looks to me like sites that can use storage are specified under the "Manage browsing data" option. I think you should replace the current second bullet here with a description of that option.

in the manage browsing data option dialog, it's like

which, seems to be the tool to just remove a specific site's data, but it will not block the site from having third party cookies


i have take a rough look at the firefox codebase, but failed to find the exact related code with the UIs. related constants include BEHAVIOR_REJECT_FOREIGN, BEHAVIOR_LIMIT_FOREIGN and STATE_COOKIES_BLOCKED_FOREIGN, so it may be useful for someone who has knowledge on the changes of the API to help identify the correct place?.

Right, OK. We've got one option listed to help with this. Why don't we just remove the second bullet for now, and then get it merged? The rest of your changes are pretty useful.

I'm mainly saying this because I have no idea who I'd talk to about this, and it would be a shame to hold up your PR on this small detail while we go digging for info.
