Interesting.. 3rd party cookies iirc used to be very important for functionality

I will have to read more on this as I suspect older server software could have issues with this... wondering how this affects the Websters on cameras and nvrs

I just noticed this today on Edge:



So it look like MS Edge is already doing this?

Am I missing something here? But doesn't Google rely on cookies to sell advertising so isn't this cutting your nose of to spit your face (kind of) confused.com

First party cookies are still allowed, ie between a specific website and you.

Third party cookies are when say FB puts a FB cookie on your machine when you visit another website. Its a key advertising technology and its what tracks you

BTW everytime you use a common login widget, like "Login using Google" you're making it easier for them. You're specifically allowing them to now track you, defeating the whole 3rd party cookie ban

That article leaves out a few important things:

1. Google is killing third party cookies and replacing them with a different system of tracking users: Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
2. They are also killing adblockers in chrome as of 6/2024. Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024

I think Google is seriously overestimating users loyalty to a web browser that's best known as a giant memory hog. I plan to shift most of my browsing to Firefox or one of the chrome forks. It's probably a good thing for the internet if their browser market share drops.

Yep and Yep. I only use Chrome to check a couple of discreet gmail accounts

I'm glad I finally made the switch to Firefox.
Although Firefox for Android is slow.. which is a shame to easily share bookmarks and history between desktop/mobile.

But I thought UI3 was designed for Google Chrome? What do folks use for UI3?

I've been using Vivaldi for a few years now. It is based off Chromium, same as Chrome, so can use all Chrome extensions etc and behaves the same as Chrome as far as UI3 is concerned.

I've been using UI3 on Firefox on my windows computers, android phones and tablets, with Silk on my Amazon tablets.

Google is inherently evil. Drop them like a bad habit.

Hmmm...I tend to keep my bad habits.

Sure it can block everything, but the site becomes unusable
I allow certain things like CDNs and and certain Video server networks, as well as some sites 1st party cookies to allow images to load
