The WSJ seems to be describing https://github.com/WICG/floc https://github.com/WICG/floc, but the kind of remarketing you're describing is what https://github.com/WICG/turtledove https://github.com/WICG/turtledove is intended to support. Advertisers would still be able to run that kind of personalized ad, but the browser API would not allow them to learn your browsing history in the process.
