"Total cookie protection" from Firefox

…except it’s years too late, the pervasive monitoring usual suspects have moved to something else long ago.

Moving slower than lawmakers (and cookie banners) is not something to be proud of.

That been said other browsers are worse of.

Of course, they might start trying to prevent use of Firefox altogether. In a previous decade there were sites that attempted to prevent one from using any browser that wasn't Internet Explorer. I just stopped using those sites, although it was also possible to tell Firefox to "lie" and identify itself as IE. Any organisation that sells you stuff is unlikely to want to annoy its potential customers in this way. "The customer is always right".

Certainly the feature as described doesn't *sound* any different from the status quo for first-party cookies. It's possible I'm missing something though because this seems strictly weaker than just blocking third party cookies altogether, which is absolutely a valid strategy if you're willing to permit a tiny number of exceptions, and from that perspective this half-way version seems kind of pointless.
