The last thing a browser wants to do is break experience for older sites. If a site relies on 3rd party cookies for log in, it will no longer work on your browser. It makes your browser look shit. Same reason we allow unclosed tags, crossed tags, etc.
- pavlov 3y agoBrowsers already detect login forms to offer autocompletion and password storage. Surely it wouldn’t be insurmountable to detect cookies being set after a login flow, and let users confirm that they want this login to persist.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoWe also had shockwave flash, blink tags, keygen tags for cert generation, etc., so yeah, we can change stuff if we need it. But since the biggest browser is owned by an ad company that earns money by tracking us, this will probably never happen. An alternative would be to have a cookie jar per domain.
- ssdspoimdsjvv 3y agoIs this really different from disabling JavaScript, which will also break the majority of sites?
- lloeki 3y agoSafari and Firefox block 3rd party cookies by default.
