I really wish that the browser treated each destination domain as a=20
different "sandbox" and that cookies set for that domain never leaked to=20
visits to other domains.  That would eliminate cross-domain tracking,=20
while allowing full functionality of every site.

But nowadays I suspect the browser makers see the advertisers as their=20
"customers", not the users.  After all, if you don't pay for the=20
product, you are the product.
