Clicking lock icon, then Clear Data, doesnt clear cookies. I have to purge entire cookies from clear history tool or live with cookies for forever.

So, you're stuck: keep cookies forever or wipe out your entire history. Tough call Try a restart after clearing data. Tech can be weirdly picky. And double-check those buttons – it's like a tech scavenger hunt sometimes. [removed spam link from quote]

settings still saved in some pages, I am sure they are stored in either cookies or local storage (which both should be cleared) and not account settings nor on ip. Settings successfully reset when I clear data on other browsers.
