If you navigate away from facebook, it will delete all facebook cookies in the tab. That's the idea.
Also, it doesn't break the internet - it doesn't tinker with IP or TCP or HTTP or anything. I'm also not suggesting that all browsers do this, it's obviously way too annoying for an ordinary user to put up with. I just want my browser to do it. I want to fix the internet for myself.

Typically browsers haven't been great with this sort of thing, and usually end up being tricked into accepting "first party cookies" from a site through which you are redirected (e.g. Google's login process, where when you click "login", you are redirected from accounts.google.com to youtube.com and eventually to your final destination, so that you have "first party cookies" with Youtube, despite never voluntarily going to the site. Paypal did a similar thing with Doubleclick some years ago, where you clicked a link, it took you to a page where you're redirected to Doubleclick, they give you a tracking cookie, then redirected to the page you wanted to go to).
