This is what happens if browser vendors don't solve the issue with technical measures, being too afraid to break things.
(Not surprising, given that a the largest one, being or close to being a de-facto monopolist, has conflict of interests on the matter of user tracking and profiling.)
We get a legal solution which is poorly understood, has weird unintended side effects (because it was made by non-experts) essentially breaking things (just... non-technically), and doesn't really prevent the bad actors from continuing what they did.
