It would seem to be blocking 3rd party cookies is good and it's a net negative for Google because their analytics stop working. The article suggests google has more data than their competitors so it's a net positive to them. That might be true for small competitors. It's not true for big ones like Facebook or Amazon or Microsoft or possibly even Apple who have or potentially have a similar amount of info on you via the services they offer
- josefx 6y agoas far as i remember chrome actually sends an additional and probably unique xclient-data property when it connects to google owned addresses. This is a feature its competitors do not have access to.
- chipperyman573 6y agoI just looked through the headers of a request to google.com, expecting this to be wrong, but it does look like this is there! Right at the bottom, x-client-data. The value ends with == which makes me think it's some kind of hash. Crazy. It does not exist when I use ungoogled chromium, firefox, or even edge.
