It's hard to take anything you write seriously when you're being disingenuous.
>Unfortunately, these prototypes broke the web badly. The web was simply not ready for such protection.
Yet Apple was fine disabling third-party tracking since 2001 according to GP?
>Now, Apple, with their iOS monopoly
A monopoly over their own product?
>If you recall, Apple's stance on privacy is quite recent. The tech world has a short memory, but I remember Apple being caught red-handed slurping data from user's iPhones not so long ago.
A quick Google search shows that Apple was embroiled because they enabled WiFi-assist by default, which caused some people to use more cellular data than intended. Is this the privacy-invading data "slurp" you mean?
>But don't forget that they do this for strategic reasons
Who doesn't? Apple is not a charity. We should rejoice that Apple is monetizing privacy, because it means the system is working.
>We're also working on it (is anyone else doing so?)
GP literally just mentioned expiring first-party cookies after 7-days.
I don't trust Mozilla _at all_ these days. Instead Mozilla seems interested in marketing themselves as privacy-focused only enough to grow their userbase for the near future. Once at some critical mass, Mozilla seems to proceed exactly like Google.
