>Gotta agree. Turning tracking cookies off? Sure! Turning session cookies off and then complaining that the server doesn’t remember you? Uhhh…

No, because there are technologies that don't have this issue, eg. privacy pass.

There's no mechanistic difference between the two types of cookies, let's not pretend this is an actual config choice that people are making.

Whenever I hit Anubis, I simply go "keep your secrets then" and take my leave. The vast majority of the sites posted to HN (that catch my fancy) work fine or fine enough, and are better for it.

If I really, really desperately want to check something out, I can always just turn stuff back on. Turns out, I rarely do.

Shoutout to the particularly dogshit few that don't just require cookies and JS, but even third party JS. For reading a blogpost or a message thread!
