Is this a broadside against Facebook's trackers? Does anyone believe for one picosecond they will block their own cookies? I switched to Firefox when I tried to block all 3rd aprty cookies on Chrome and found some (Google's) that just wouldn't disappear.

As noted in a recent (and very busy) thread, Chrome sends an installation-specific ID to Google domains in a special header. This can easily be used as an identifier for tracking in the absence of cookies, and it's an advantage that Google's competitors lack. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22236106 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22236106
