Title:
Reconsider third-party-cookies-off-by-default.patch
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The latest version of Chromium in Saucy turns off all third-party
cookies.
Last month, Firefox decided to postpone their more advanced third
party cookie default block which would have only blocked third party
cookies for sites the user hadn't visited yet. The feature just wasn't
ready yet.
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/05/mozilla-delays-
turning-on-third-party-cookie-killer-in-firefox/
The third-party-cookies-off-by-default.patch breaks web functionality
(such as social networking widgets). For instance it appears to make
it impossible to post a comment on news sites that use Facebook
comments.
Disabling this new feature requires a user to open Settings, scroll to
the bottom and click Show advanced settings, find the Content Settings
button in Privacy and uncheck Block third-party cookies and site data.
Before this is enabled by default, I'd like to see an easy way for
users to whitelist websites that they use. Blocking needs to be
smarter as third-party cookies aren't necessarily evil; it depends on
what features the user wants.
