Which is why third-party cookies are to this day enabled by default in every single browser...

  Is that true for Safari? I think the "Prevent cross-site tracking" option is enabled by default, which deletes cookies unless they're from the site you're actually visiting.

  And things like google drive don’t work without them enabled.

    Except these things don't have to rely on them. It's absolutely possible to build a portal-style website, spanning multiple different-level domains, without third-party cookies. It really is unfortunate that the most popular browser is made by the same company that controls the most popular search engine, the most popular video sharing service, the most popular email provider, and the most popular cloud storage/collaboration service. This should not be legal.

      I'd rather have Google do this than go to multiple different disjoint sites. imagine without Google search, you go to Pinterest for wedding ideas, stackoverflow for questions, then target for a toaster oven, etc
