  • Is there a chrome extension to decline all cookies? And what negative effects will that have on my internet browsing?

  • youtube is shit without cookies. Other than that, not much

  • Some sites will stop you doing anything if it can't set and subsequent retrieve a cookie.

    Many of those sites are useless shit to begin with, but some useful sites employ this anti-pattern.

  • Some things will break, some things will become more annoying.
