We'd love to believe that you care about privacy, Google--just stop sending any non-user-requested data from Chrome to any Google property.


People keep forgetting that the vast majority of Google's revenue comes from ads. They're literally an ad company, that dabbles in cool tech as their 20% project.

If Google is phasing out 3rd party cookies, they're not doing it for privacy, they're doing it because they've figured out how to track people without them. And they don't want their competitors to do the same.

Thus: Remove 3rd party cookie support from their market-leading browser to hobble competition.


Vote with your wallet — stop using Chrome


And by extension all Chromium-based browsers, which sadly limits your selection to Firefox and Safari pretty much.
