I read the post of Brendan's latest blog: https://brendaneich.com/2013/06/the-cookie-clearinghouse/
In the post, I read like that Firefox introduces a exception list (black list or white one) approach as Safe Browsing for blocking 3rd party cookie problem. I understand Mozilla works for online privacy, and cheer its work. But this problem is not like so. I think it is bad approach about introducing exception list based system for blocking 3rd party cookie. Safe Browsing system has very cleary criterion and fair approach. Because its criterion is whether the website spreads the malware, or not. It's very simple and fair. However, the situation of 3rd party cookie is different from Safe Browsing.There is no clear rules to decide whether the website is bad "exception" or not. It's very ambiguity. So how do we decide the website is "exception"? It would be very floating definition by person. Of course, the website which is not respect DNT policy may be good definition. (In some country, Do Not Track approach is not legal definition.) But we cannot inspect in his server, thus we don't have a way to check it perfectly. I think that the "exception list" approach is not good for resolving 3rd party cookies problem. And Safari-like 3rd party cookie policy by default enabled is not resolve any problem. This is not good for web. -- Tetsuharu OHZEKI <saneyuki_s> [email protected] _______________________________________________ dev-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-privacy
