    Cookies serve important purposes for doing things like keeping you signed in as you navigate through multiple pages on a site.

    The issue is that most parts of the internet were developed by people more interested in all the cool stuff you could do with it, and not at all concerned about the potential misuse by large multi billion dollar corporations.

        Cookies are a part of the http protocol and the server side design of the websites themselves. You can’t just replace them with a password manager on your individual client.

          no a password manager can’t replace cookies, Like a JPEG can’t replace a 2 hour long film.

          I have however forgone cookies for the most part. Great for privacy.

          I’d recommend keepassxc, bookmarking and some addons like ublock, no script, libredirect. Most sites still work and the few that don’t aren’t worth my time
