We should intelligently block unexpected tracking by avoiding state from origins the user isn't trying to visit. Safari has a similar feature: https://webkit.org/blog/8311/intelligent-tracking-prevention-2-0/

https://webkit.org/blog/9661/preventing-tracking-prevention-tracking/ new tidbits that webkit has implemented to prevent sites from tracking the prevention of tracking. interestingly, google is helping them design it.

FWIW, Google is most def not helping them design it. Google was exploiting a bug that would bypass, WebKit folks noticed it and plugged the hole. The comment is shade 😎
