Cookies lag your browser
 

Cookies and other "persistent data" from websites is a lagging your browser and system as follows:

1. Tiny little ****ty files stored on your harddisk's file system causing:

1.1 Huge load times when the browser starts, harddisk needs to seek all these ****ty cookies and other crappy website data.

1.2 Fragments the file system over time.

I urge all websites to stop using cookies cause it suxxx COCK hugely...

2. Further the NAG screens are super annoying.

(3. Completely lags your system/harddisk as firefox tries to load all cookies at the same time making the seek times even worse and no more harddisk seek/performance resources available for other applications.)

Bye,
Skybuck.

I use "CCleaner" to delete mine almost every day. Cookies are
not going to go away any sooner than commercials are going to
disappear from radio and television. May as well get CCleaner,
and "fight the good fight".

If cookies were ever going to "go away", we'd need something very
similar to replace them. They provide a ton of functionality that people
wouldn't be happy to give up. Also, contrary to the claims made in the
first post in this thread, they don't cause lag, slowdowns,
fragmentation, or anything else of that sort.

HTTP is a stateless protocol. Cookies provide the illusion of
statefulness. The web would be very different without cookies.

Yes, we would have more privacy. I'd swap the browser
remembering my username for that. How about cookies at the
clients discretion instead of in the form of an "information
grab". As you know, you can't even use a number of web sites
without allowing them their use of cookies--and you don't even
know their intentions (you may as well assume the worst, and hope
you're wrong!). I think that many sites would sell whatever info
they might have about you if they could get 50 cents for
it--maybe they would settle for less than a dime.

We don't know that, but it seems incredibly unlikely that whatever is
cooked up to replace cookies would be more respectful of user privacy.

AFAIK, all browsers already allow users to enable/disable cookies, and
have from the beginning.

Exactly. That's why, if cookies were to disappear for some reason, which
itself is highly unlikely, the functionality they provide would have to
be developed in another way. Would we be better off in the long run? I
don't see how.

-
I never do. I keep a multiple OS array for that contingency, half a
dozen browsers, with scrub-routines for a frequent binary wash of the
connected OS.

IOW - I don't go on sites without reason.

VPNs and anonymous TOR are not unnecessarily unreasonable -- they are,
however, suspicious discrepancies and blocked. They are also friends.
Friends needn't be in all ways reasonable if they're as much
accountable for that discrepancy. As there are, for the time being,
among, as well, good to better sites for accounting perfunctory access
across private network connections, such as Wikipedia.

An acquaintance occurs when I'm blocked. I go there within a reason
to be accepted on their terms and conditions, such as Ebay, but not
Amazon. Two different reasons, two browsers and different operating
systems, over two different HTML motives as operatives.

In the former instance, Ebay will crash my browser upon "seeing" I'm
directly stacking up their merchandise against Amazon offerings.

Everybody's got one. Reasons are like opinions. In the military when
a press representative is about, they sometimes call a briefing to be
sure everyone understands they have one. They just call it by another
name and body organ.

Nope, but I love breaded Pickerel fillets or Walleye as yo call them,
followed by Saskatoon pie. :-)

I'm not familiar with those, but pickled herring is pretty good.
