I don't understand what's the problems with cookies options.

To understand my POV I'll explain what's my experience.

I understood the problems with cookies since 2003/2004.
So in that time each time I used a browser I deleted all info in it.
Never had trouble navigating and I didn't refuse any thing (wasn't aware
enough)

In 2007 I began to use the firefox and I used the automated functions to
deleted what I did before manually.
I still accepted everything (still wasn't aware enough)


Now I just accept cookies but only for the website in use (no third
parties) and everything is still deleted.
I don't have trouble with ebay, since ebay save the basket on their
servers same thing with a lot of other services, amazon for example (if
account).

Plus µblock origin, umatrix, https everywhere, and random agent spoofer.
I just have problems with some banks because some of them use 3rd party
cookies and it's obligatory (wtf).

Something that would be useful is a container for cookies (or more).
Each container opened can only have access to it's own container.

In "Nightly" they introduced "containers tabs" it's seems that these
container can do the functions that I have talked about but when I look at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Project/Containers

The big problem of the actual container is that you can't make your own
personalised containers.

Also one function by default that could be good in icecat is to put the
"Portable document Format (PDF)" in the application menu in the
preferences, under the "always ask" action.

Good night.
