Does super glue for glass actually work?

My wife has several glass figurines that have broken and I’m looking for a solution.
i see several options online for glass glue,
Do any of these actually work?

I bought some UV Curing transparent adhesive at a Craft Shop, I think it was Michael's.

It worked well.

Clear silicone for glass or UV adhesive for glass. Set the part in a box of sand to help steady the part while you work on it.

I just glued so glass figurines for my wife. Super glue for glass didn't work. I went to Lowes and they had a small tube of super glue with a built in light you shine on it for 10 seconds after applying the glue. Instantly done. Worked like a charm! I don't recall the brand. I think this was it. I think this was it.

You probably want a UV curing “glass glue”.
One of the major adhesive manufacturers used to make one which basically UV proof once cured.
I forget which manufacturer and formulation though. (Probably Loctite or 3M).
The major issue was you needed the proper UV light to cure the adhesive.
