I've been browsing the internet for 15 years with 3rd-party cookies disabled.

I never had ANY problems with any website - no idea if there would have been more functionality with 3rd-party cookies enabled. But then again, how can functionality depend on THIRD parties?

Also activated the setting for my girlfriend years ago, no complaints so far.

This feature should really be the default for any browser and any user. Too bad Android Chrome doesn't have such a setting. Too bad for Google I'll use something else instead.



Safari has always shipped blocking third party cookies by default; just about everything works with it. I remember there used to be some nasty trickery to make iFrame resident Facebook games work, but that was about it.


Do things like Disqus work?
