The immediate thought is "sites that rely on content being discussable" through things like disqus and the like (mostly because that covers one of my websites). The third party cookies allow for off-site autologins. Of course, allowing them also lets BS like facebook in so I'd love to see browser get built-in automatic third-party blocking with per-site whitelisting of 3rd party domains (I would love to auto-clear disqus on sites I actively use, but not on sites that happen to have it slapped onto a random 1 paragraph "news" item).

They fix this by opening a new window and having you login directly to Disqus.com so the cookie can be set. Disqus login still works with third-party cookies disabled...
However, don't use Disqus because they inject vulnerable JavaScript onto the page from unvetted ad networks and inject their affiliate links into every external link on your page[1].
