I'm definitely in the minority of commenters on these FLoC threads. I hate that 3rd party cookies exist, and support FLoC if it would hasten the demise of 3rd party cookies.

> if it would hasten the demise of 3rd party cookies Will FLoC speed this up? As far as I know, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari are already largely publicly committed to phasing out 3rd party cookies over the next couple years. I guess FLoC might move that deadline up a bit? But I suspect some critics of FLoC are looking at the proposal as a compromise that we don't need to make. The thinking is, at the point where we ha…
> Will FLoC speed this up? If you look back at Chrome's original announcement about phasing out third-party cookies, they are explicit about replacements like FLoC being how it happens: "After initial dialogue with the web community, we are confident that with continued iteration and feedback, privacy-preserving and open-standard mechanisms like the Privacy Sandbox can sustain a healthy, ad-supported web in a way tha…

How do you arrive at this conclusion? Authentication does not depend on third party cookies. Third party cookies are used to track visitors across multiple sites, independent of authentication to the first party site. I haven't seen suggestion elsewhere that third party cookies are about anything else.

Instagram: cool! We're showing this to all your friends. BTW it costs us money to do this but don't worry, we don't charge you, we just show some ads to your friends.
You: Hey, my kitten is really popular, a lot of people are liking it.
Instagram: High five! You're popular. We ended up making a lot more money from selling ads than it cost us to show it! Thanks!
You: wait, that was my cat picture, where's my cut?

Chrome users should just run a local proxy that inserts the header for them.
So, I was experimenting with this concept yesterday but couldn't get it to work... How do you set up a local proxy to do this kind of stuff?
