  We should make a darkUI along the lines of prohibitive cookie policy modals that detect Chrome, and forces the FLoC in user's faces. It'll get ignored and be as useful as the cookie policy windows, but it'll be funny. Maybe add to the window "Don't like this message? Try Firefox instead!"

    “Cookie policy modals” is bad naming: they‘re specifically there to get consent to track, regardless of the method you use to track in the first place.

    What is the easy way to implement this? Just looking at user agent isn’t ideal. Does your server just look for floc data being sent to you?

  Add this as HTTP Response header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()

Blocking FLoC is as easy as adding this header to the HTTP response: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=() Source: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3209628 https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3209628

  So, wait. We add this into the headers, and just expect Chrome to respect it?

    The website is really a third party here, the browser is choosing to track users browser history and report a summary statistic on it to anyone who asks, there's nothing the website can do about that. Chrome has promised to listen if websites say they don't want to be included in the browser history they calculate that statistic on, but it's all client side, there is nothing the website can actually do but request that they aren't included.

        Really? Because that is how googles documentation says it works: https://web.dev/floc/#how-does-floc-work https://web.dev/floc/#how-does-floc-work
