For most of us, Google Chrome is likely your Internet browser of choice. In fact, the latest data from Statcounter shows that over 66% of people with access to the Internet use Google Chrome as their browser. With that being the case, you may want to consider changing since some of its privacy features don't seem to work as intended.
For those who are unaware, there are multiple ways to clear the cookies and site data from Chrome. You could do use incognito mode, clear them manually, or set it to be deleted automatically when you close the browser. But according to TechSpot, iOS developer Jeff Johnson discovered that YouTube and Google search data cookies and site data are not removed when you enable the third option.
The reason for this is that the data for those two platforms are stored on the local drive using HTML5, which allows platforms to store anything the developer wants. You could blacklist both sites under the "Sites that can never use cookies", but then that means you won't be able to login to your YouTube account. Google claims that this is a bug and that it will be fixed soon, but many people have expressed doubt that it is a bug.
