What? I browse without cookies (even first-party), and apart from the WE USE COOKIES banner that ironically can't be acknowledged most sites work just fine.

Obviously shopping sites and similar get whitelisted.

If you don't interact with sites (POSTing, like the parent comment is talking about) you obviously won't notice the breakage. Since you whitelist the sites you interact with (shopping sites and similar) you are already sidestepping the problem.

POST requests work perfectly fine without cookies.

Edit: I just saw your comment in the sibling thread. Guess I won't be interacting with your sites any time soon.

No shit. It's the actual server side implementation that will be like, "The fuck you doing?". Because you'll be breaking the web.
