I feel like the entire purpose of this is to take the control from the sites and give it to the users. The site owners obviously do want the cookies to be share

  I don't mind at all if Firefox wanted to propose a standard way to declare cross site sharing, and then allows the user to overrule my settings as a dev (or even if they pick more restrictive defaults, if user opt in is a problem). There's a standard in place, so arbitrary exceptions and heuristics don't create incredible headaches, and there's a clear path to resolving the issue in support/triage with the customer if they create a rule that does actually break my site's functionality. I do mind, quite a bit, when Firefox essentially goes "Fuck the standards", and starts playing fast and loose with the rules. And I mind for two reasons 1. I expect better from them. I'm old enough to remember how much steam Firefox picked up from IE by just treating a standard as a standard. It was novel, and transformed front-end development in a great way. 2. They are not the market leader, and non-standard, site breaking bullshit only does more to sink their ship, and I desperately want a competitor in the browser ecosystem that is not Google Chrome (or a rebranded chromium port).
