Chromium doesn't block third-party cookies properly

[Torsten Bronger]

If I select "block third-party cookies" in the Chromium configuration, and I am logged into Facebook, and I visit a webpage with an embedded Facebook applet, I can see my friends in this applet.

If I block cookies completely, I see only random people in the applet.

I deduce from this that the blocking of third-party cookies is not properly working in Chromium.

I use Lubuntu 11.10.

I found the underlying reason: You have to visit about:flags and deactivate third-party cookies there, too.

Very strange that setting and reading of third-party cookies are different settings in Chromium, *and* that the latter is still "experimental".
