Wtf man? Don't you like at all care that sites are tracking your browsing through cookies?

@netikras I have disabled third party cookies, and the other are also only stored for the session.

@Fast-Nop https://stackoverflow.com/questions... -- still far too long. That's why I like stuff like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/... .

I once played with an old VM with IE5 I think. Opening any website meant you were inundated with native dialogs that ask you to confirm the security risk of accepting a cookie.
Years have passed, new browsers appeared since then, cookie auto-accept setting is still present in many major browsers, but still we're back to fucking square 1! Dialogs for accepting goddamn cookies! For fucks sake!!! -
@netikras I do care about it but that's whole another topic. Disabling cookies isn't an option most of sites wouldn't work without it. This is sad reality. And that's why I use chrome portable with new profile everytime. So they can't track me well.

@shahidcodes how come? Personally I've only come across like 5 sites that force you to accept all cookies otherwice it won't load. All the rest allow to opt-out advertising and partners' cookies.
I don't think chrome portable is much more secure than incognito browsing, at least cookies-wise. Incognito does not persist them anyway. And portable [last I tried] still injects additional google's cookies where GA or GTM is found. Have things changed? -
@netikras but that injected cookie won't be there next time I reset profile. 😉
I think accept cookie thing should be done by browser itself. If it was like when using
document.cookies=bla browser wod show the popup that if we (users) are okay with the site storing a cookie. It'd be much standard as I can set accept cookie from all web sites etc so I don't have to
