The signal has to make its way to a speaker in analog form, eventually. In a way, analog output will always be supported.

Ah, sorry, I misread your comment. Indeed, a browser that doesn't respect cross-domain restrictions is a poorly written browser.

My point still stands, though: the point of cookieless domains is not security, but bandwidth. And there are legitimate reasons to have top-level domain cookies - sharing authentication state between subdomains is a common example - which would prevent a subdomain from being used as a CDN, without receiving cookies.

There are many high profile websites that use the cookieless domain approach: Google, Facebook, and Reddit off the top of my head. I wouldn't say they are poorly written - it's more of a design decision to have cookies in the top-level domain.

It's not about the security of the cookies, it's about the bandwidth you save by having a separate domain for static content, because the client does not have to transmit the cookies for each request.

Because WhatsApp uses your phone book as the only way to interact with its contact list. You can't add someone to directly to your WhatsApp contact list.

It could probably access it less often by only sending deltas, but that would mean their servers would have to store your whole phone book. I don't think that's any better from a privacy perspective.

Of course Facebook Messenger doesn't do the same, it has its own contact list coming from Facebook.

Yes. Much like many consumer projectors.

Tap and hold your Wi-Fi network, then select "Modify network". The proxy options are under the advanced options.
