I'm sorry but I fail to see the point of this. you can choose to disable cookies, will you be able to disable this new thing? if so, what's the big deal about it, other than the same principle with a different name, probably to avoid some EU legislation.

Advertisers and trackers have been doing the same thing this thing is supposed to do for years. And where will they implement it? the only way would be at the application level, so every browser now also has to implement internal tracking services to aggregate all the data in their flocs, to then come back to the user to spice up their request? come on...

I'll keep supporting efforts to make the Internet a more privacy focused place. Advertisers have been buying TV ads for decades and I my TV hasn't asked me what I want to share with it, yet.

This is related to my main question about this. What if browsers just... don't implement this?

What makes Google think that Apple or Mozilla are going to add this to their browsers?
