Out of the box, Ephemeral and Brave both block third-party cookies to reduce unwanted forms of cross-site tracking via ads. It'd be great for elementary's default browser to ship a privacy enhancing default. Fixes #127.

The same setting has been working well for me in Firefox (my default browser) since over a year, without any noticeable regression. In my limited testing, as far as I can tell, Epiphany is working fine with some popular sites.
