Ungoogled-chromium: Consider turning off "Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chromium"
Under chrome://settings/content/cookies there's a knob for Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chromium. In order to not have to re-enter passwords for google/facebook/twitter/github acounts every time one re-opens Chromium, one has to manually turn this knob off.
This is against most people's intuition, despite this being a privacy-centric chromium distribution. I'd like to suggest that we turn this knob off by default.

Changing this option should persist across restarts. Isn't it saved on your system?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes it is, and it indeed persists across restart. For me personally, the only time I have to turn off the knob is if I reinstall the browser (or upgrade it).
I opened this issue because I was thinking from a new user's perspective. I, for one, struggled quite a bit when I first used ungoogled-chromium 2 months ago.

That's a double-edged weapon. After flipping this setting, next comes new bug report, saying something along the lines: "You're advertising this to be a somewhat secured browser, but how come by default cookies are preserved? Nonsense! Fix this!"
