But browsers could disable third party cookies, and autodelete first party cookies on page/tab close by default.
There would be a "keep cookies for this site" button somewhere near the address bar, and at each login, the browser would also ask you if you want to save your password and/or save cookies for that domain.
99% of websites don't require persistant storage, and those who do, 99% of them are sites you're logged into and already prompt the user, asking if they want to save the password.
- ipaddr 5y agoThat's private browsing currently. Why not use a private window?
- marcosdumay 5y agoBecause software is supposed to make our lives easier, not to insist we keep making the same choices again and again, and undo everything as soon as we make a mistake.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoBecause i might want cookies on this page, gmail and reddit, and nowhere else. This would mean me starting a private window, googling something, finding a link on reddit, opening it, either logging in again, or copying the link to a non-private window, commenting, closing that window, and back to search results.

- benibela 5y agoI often do that, but now I have to click on cookie confirmation banners all the time. It is very annoying. Might just take seconds, but it sums, eventually I have been clicking on these banners for hours Sometimes these banners do not even work because of my NoScript
