STR: 1. In a new profile, go to www.youtube.com to collect some Google tracking cookies. 2. Then, go to another site with the Google trackers present, like www.cnn.com. 3. Open the Storage Inspector. Actual results: You should probably not see any cookies/site data from origins such as https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net or https://tpc.googlesyndication.com, but they will show up here even though they won't be used on this page itself. It would be nice to make the Storage Inspector show what's being used on the page, instead of what our storage backends have stored...
With the API added in bug 1503465, now we can tell which hosts got their storage blocked on a per browser basis. Perhaps it would be possible to use that API to filter out blocked hosts from the existing Storage panel?
