#2> This is the third time Google has pushed back its original deadline set in January 2020.
What a joke!

#3I spent over a week upgrading a project last January, over what was supposed to be my winter break... Had to rewrite some of the core internals from scratch to prepare for this. I'm not saying they weren't good changes, but the urgency is not nice haha.

That's just poor time management though

#7Google delays third-party cookie demise in the Chrome browser yet again. Nothing is stopping anyone else from turning off third party cookies.

#8I am not convinced this is ever going to actually happen. Google won't roll this out until they are sure that their new solution basically has the same effect for advertisers as cookies, but with a new fancy name with "privacy" in it (when its anything but).
Google needs to be forced to spin out Chrome to someone else, it is a clear conflict of interest when nearly every (or every? are there any that haven't?) other browser has already taken steps for actual privacy instead of dressing up a new tracking system.
While we wait for this to never happen, we should be encouraging everyone to use any other browser so google doesn't have the marketshare to strong-arm the web anymore.

I don't know why you're downvoted, the original deadline was set for January 2020.

#10the web version of Microsoft Teams doesn't work with 3rd party cookies disabled. I have been eagerly awaiting this change so I can use browser teams, it is the one thing I care about that doesn't work with 3rd party cookies disabled.
edit: to my surprise apparently web teams (both "old" and "new") no longer needs 3rd party cookies enabled. Last I checked was a few months ago.
