Isn't that exactly what this blog post is proposing too?

  No it is not, Google is just proposing extra protections around existing mechanisms. That will continue to likely allow google nearly unlimited access to data. Apple's plan is a complete departure from current setups. https://webkit.org/blog/8943/privacy-preserving-ad-click-attribution-for-the-web/ https://webkit.org/blog/8943/privacy-preserving-ad-click-att... I don't really know if its viable, but its something.

    That's not how I read it. To me, it just sounded like trying to standardize all the different approaches everyone is using, so we don't end up with a mess like the User-Agent field currently is, because everyone tries their own hack on top of hack on top of hack trying to play a cat and mouse game.

      Trying to standardize is already what Mozilla and Apple (by openly stating their proposal was based on Mozilla) attempting to do. The only thing Google is doing by proposing this is to attempt to remove or lower the impact on them. Considering this in the beginning: >Recently, some other browsers have attempted to address this problem, but without an agreed upon set of standards, attempts to improve user privacy are having unintended consequences.
