Facebook is scaring me
Wouldn’t disabling third-party cookies take care of this? (And many other questionable things?)

In Chrome the option is to block 3rd party cookies from being set, not from being sent. Since Facebook sets its cookie while I am on their domain, I don't believe Chrome's blocking option is of any use.

In `about:flags` there's an option to change third-party cookie blocking behavior to prevent reading third-party cookies as well.
