@mhoye The big, and main one I use is "First Party Isolation" brought over from the Tor project. Basically if you visit a website, it's cookies (and third-party cookies from it) are isolated from others. So if blah.com has a facebook tracking pixel, the cookie that pixel sets is different to the one from the facebook pixel set by foo.com, and different from the facebook pixel set by facebook.com. No more being tracked across the internet!

@anaerin @mhoye That's rapidly becoming the standard! Safari switched to that default a while back and Chrome offers it as an option (becoming the default next year).

@stilescrisis @anaerin The reason Chrome is doing this nonsense now is specifically so they don't lose any real visibility into what people are doing on the web when they need to turn that on in a year.

@mhoye @anaerin "Need to"? Tell me more. I haven't heard of any legislation or mandate here.

@anaerin @mhoye Unfortunately, 3rd-party cookies are only *one way* of tracking you. The many other techniques to fingerprint your browser/device still work incredibly fine.

@anaerin @mhoye that sounds a lot like FF's Container Tabs, a built-in feature

@scruss @mhoye It goes beyond that, because rather than containing all sites within a group, this is for every site.
