Wasn’t blocking of third-party cookies already an option for quite some time now? What’s different with this version that it’s mentioned as a new feature?
CHIPS is a new way that cookies can work. The difference is that 3rd party cookies are opt-in for the browser, not opt-out, which is better
I would love to know too, it seems like every month for at least a year now I read that “the new Firefox release blocks third party cookies”
However, please keep in mind that this is a pre-release version not intended for production use as it may lead to data loss.
… “Production”? “Data loss”? It’s a browser.
Are you joking? A lot of people do most of their work in browsers these days. Having cookies suddenly misbehave can lead to severe data loss.
Fair enough!
People use web browsers to do their job. Which requires data storage.
Cookies are used for storing data, fwiw.
I would imagine anything more than session info would be stored to LocalStorage, then promptly sent to the server.
You’d think so, and yet… not always lol
