interesting to know that this is an option.

I assume that this isn't the default (that it defaults to yes)

any idea how many sites get broken by this option?

It is the default. I don't know if any sites get broken by it, but I certainly haven't noticed any. Not that I would have even thought to try changing that option if I did run across a broken site, so who knows.

Quite a few are broken by me disabling Flash's data storage, though.
