Having web browsers disable third-party cookies by default is extremely easy to implement and would already be a good start. The only good use case enabled by them is comment widgets like Disqus. And it's an okay sacrifice in exchange for defeating most forms of tracking.



Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It's a valid point, Chrome and Firefox will strongly limit third-party cookies soon, Safari already did as far as I know.
