So is google singlehandedly choosing which technologies get implemented and deprecated? What if my website depends on third party cookies to function? Aren't they an IETF standard and so I can expect them to be supported?
I get that third party cookies are just used for tracking nowadays, but shouldn't there be a less monopolistic way of doing so?
- dangus 3y agoI think it’s pretty well established that third-party cookies are a bad idea. They’ve been turned off by default on Firefox and probably most other browsers for a while now. I can’t see when I would recommend turning them on for any user. Just because something is standard doesn’t mean it never gets deprecated.

- chatmasta 3y agoIn this instance, Google is actually the last browser to deprecate third-party cookies. Apple and Mozilla disabled them in their browsers over two years ago.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoIIRC, Firefox still enables them by default, albeit with some isolation added not long ago.
