Browsers should be on our side. If they're failing at that, then they're not good.

Personally, I'd like browsers to be much smarter about which cookies to keep and which to throw away. Keep cookies about settings, throw away everything else. And instead of not accepting cookies, leading to sites complaining about that, just accept them and throw them away at the end of the session.

Also, I'd really like the option to open some sites always in incognito mode. Many sites have no business knowing who I even am, but some really do. Same cookie policy for all sites makes no sense. Cookies need to be a lot more transparent, and instead of relying on annoying and incomprehensible GDPR popups, the browser should take care of that.
