On-device side data toggle. Why not permanent?

kebab_definite

I have side data blocked. For sides like this forum i have a Exception. Now i have under permissions a On-device side data toggle. Just above JavaScript. Why is the toggle not permanent?

I would love to have the option to toggle On-device side data on or of like JavaScript for each side.

But i have to go to settings - side settings - side data and copy the link for the website and make a exception. But why? :)

Why not use incognito mode for websites that you don't want to save site data, and use regular tabs for websites that you do want to save site data?

treequell because i don't what to store side data in the first place. And incognito delete side data after storing these. And i do not now every time with side need side data. So a easy on or of toggle would be beneficial like its existed for JavaScript and like it exist if i have make an exception for side data for a specific side.

Have you disabled the site data toggle under Vanadium > Settings > Site settings > Save site data, and added the exceptions for the sites you want to save site data.

Does that functionality not meet your requirements?

treequell that is what i have done. But for each new website i have do this steppes over and over again. So a toggle would be nice. The toggle is there for exceptions sides. But not for new ones.

Do I understand correctly that the setting works as you wish for, but that it's a pain to add exceptions because you have to navigate to settings and enter the URL?

Perhaps the ability to toggle an exception from the website is something that the GrapheneOS developers could implement.

However, this feature is from upstream, so it is possible that the GrapheneOS developers would rather wait for such an upstream to be implemented upstream.

You could always ask though on the issue tracker on GitHub to get their opinion though!
