    So the update is, Firefox now blocks all third party cookies by default?

    That’s great and new news… I just wish this post reflected that, so I wouldn’t have to dig through comments to figure out what changed between 2022 and today.

    I was confused enough when they initially announced Total Cookie Protection in 2021 and then re-announced it as rolled out to all users in 2022.

      I think that’s what it is, except my use of the term “block” was mostly wrong. This seems to accept them but keep them isolated, defeating their effectiveness as a way to track users across sites.

        The linked page is even more confusing, because it provides a link back to this page for clarification about which third party cookies are being blocked.
