An advertising company is telling everyone their browser (they designed to better serve eyeballs to their advertising customers) is not a privacy nightmare...

Next up a slaughterhouse releases its new "Animal welfare policy".

I mean, this is "bad", but I think it's objectively better than 3rd party cookies. I don't care either way.

Every single browser (including Chrome) has already agreed to remove support for third party cookies, and virtually all of them have already done so (by default anyway - you can enable them if you have compatibility issues).

That's not something we should be comparing this new feature to.
