I think Chrome will get much better cookie controls sometime in the future. They call it non-modal cookie prompt.

The German Chrome team mentioned this in a blog post a short while back. But unfortunately the announcement was very vague and doesn't have many details. The changes don't seem to have landed in the canary build yet. If I understand the blog post correctly they are in the middle of building the feature.

This is the (German) blog post I'm referring to. http://google-produkt-kompass.blogspot.com/2011/06/chrome-ma...

I don't think Google Translate can be of much help here, because even the German version is very vague about this feature. Also, the post is mainly about other things, they only mention the new cookie prompt in one sentence.



Did you see how prevalent the doubleclick (Google) cookies were in the demo? Google also is refusing to implement Do-Not-Track, unlike all other major browsers. My faith in them improving in this particular area is weak.
