 == New concept ==
 Design and implement a cookie inspector resembling the concept graphic
 suggested by mikeperry:
 [[Image(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/raw-
 attachment/ticket/3246/NewCookieManager2.png)]]

 == Existing reuse ==
 An alternative design to be considered involves reusing the existing ESR
 cookie representation while adding a widget controlling indexing of
 cookies by 1st or 3rd party contexts:
 [[Image(https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/gallery/images/2013-07-12-12-57-44-88051d.png)]]
 This design could be improved by allowing quick changes of indexing via a
 widget '''directly on the cookie inspector interface.'''
 ----
 == Challenges ==
 * Mitigate the listing of duplicate (hidden in legacy 3rd party cookie
 logic) 3rd party cookies, otherwise bloating cookie lists considerably.
 * Avoid forcing the user to inspect cookies by one of 1st or 3rd party
 keys, and support choice of either indexing method.
 * Allow the user to find individual cookies at least as easily as
 preexisting representations allow, and avoid exaggerated scrolling.
 ----
 == Requirements ==
 ''To be announced.''
