Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 (I carefully omitted mentioning in the description whether the browser
 should save cache and cookies, etc. While we already have first-party
 isolation to prevent using these things for cross-site tracking, it's also
 nice to prevent long-term observation within a single site. For example,
 we don't want Google to have a long-term log of all of our searches. So,
 we could consider not retaining any supercookies. Or, we could retain
 supercookies only in websites where the user has been observed to log in
 to the site (as typically detected by the Firefox password manager).
