Google should not be setting standards on something that is supposed to be open. Google should be getting dismantled and divided into individual companies that would fail without the surveillance apparatus that is the real product, which is why it will never happen and why they're given unchecked power

Google is not the only browser vendor trying to kill third party cookies.

Go on. Who else is?
Firefox has protections in place to put them in containers, and users can block them if they choose but neither is killing them.

Let alone kill them to replace it with your own worse system lol

Firefox, Safari and Brave.

Brave is chromium, so that doesnt count lol.
But huh, TIL.
Nice to see that safari and firefox already had plans to fully block them. Im kinda scared of websites breaking as in my current firefox setup, that blocks 3th party cookies, things like teams are broken already without an exception so im sure this will block a lot of shit. Thats good, but oh shit...
