Disabling essential parts of web functionality breaks web functionality. I'm shocked.

Dropping the snark though. I'm surprised that this is still a complaint. At this point in the web's evolution cookies and Javascript are essential. Disabling those will make your experience worse and complaining about that is like removing the windshield from a car and complaining that bugs get on your face.

Tracking cookies are certainly not essential.

Yeah, tracking cookies might not be. But cookies in general? They're essential for a large amount of sites to handle something as simple as logins.
