So the ABP filter is to block cookie notifications?  Meaning, users have
to already have cookie permissions set?  And for new sites, they must
remember when sites don't load or work correctly (notices are blocked),
it may be because cookies are required?   I guess that's OK, if users
remember right away that blocked cookies are causing sites not to work.
Unless, they allow all 1st party cookies, by default?


All it does is hide the notices yes. There is no reason to block first
party cookies from being set. It doesn't get you anything. What is
important is for the cookies not to leak cross-site, and for them to
be deleted when you leave the site.

Isn't blocking first party cookies useful in that it does not allow asite to track navigation within that site? Think of a news site, youdon't want the site to know what type of articles you read. Now granted,using TBB, the site won't know the user is you, but for even moresafety, wouldn't it be better to not correlate that the same user readarticles 1 and 2, especially if there's enough time between reading thetwo articles such that the exit node has changed?
