Cookies are not going to go away any sooner than commercials are going to disappear from radio and television. May as well get CCleaner, and "fight the good fight". If cookies were ever going to "go away", we'd need something very similar to replace them. They provide a ton of functionality that people wouldn't be happy to give up. Also, contrary to the claims made in the first post in this thread, they don't cause lag, slowdowns, fragmentation, or anything else of that sort. You wrong about that. This can be easily seen/monitored via resource monitor from task manager. Also these cookies are stored in little files. Each of these little files has to be seeked, causing huge ammounts of i/o wasted on these seeks. One simple improvement would be if Firefox stores these cookies in a single file. Though if cookies grow and shrink it might become a bit troublesome. One idea could be to allocate some additional space per cookie. Though I would rather see cookies go completely... at least the nags screens... boy are those annoying. For those that use CCCleaners and delete cookies ? How do you cope with the nag screens ?
