Why would an open source browser remove a feature just because a corperation did it. Talking like that, might as well use Chrome. Oh wait. But it’s *spyware / anti AdBlock.
Why doesn’t Firefox make *using AdBlock harder since Google does the same? Firefox isn’t competing for Market share, it’s suppose to be an Opensource browser and being so should mean that you have the best features for the user, and not a company.
Had you ever asked why would Google get rid of 3rd party cookies, and also ask, what did they replace 3rd party cookies with? another way for them to track you, and only them. They took potential revenue from sites that aren’t them just because they can.
Third-party cookies make tracking users easier. I am not asking Firefox to follow Chrome at each step.
I am just asking for the privacy browser to improve users’ privacy by removing support for third-party cookies, because it theoretically will not break anything.
3rd party cookies make tracking users easier when the same cookie can be used on many websites.
Firefox does 2 things to protect you from that: it blocks known trackers cookies by default; and for the others it isolates them per domain so that kind of tracking doesn’t happen. That ensures you’re not tracked and at the same time it doesn’t break any functionality.
I do agree, that removing it would improve user privacy, however I feel that should be up to the user to decide on their own if they want or don’t want third party tracking cookies as it has been.
The alternative that Google proposed I don’t think it’s any better then what is was before with 3rd party tracking cookies. I’d say it’s worse since it introduces new problems while keeping old problems under a new name.
If everything goes through Google, no one has personal control and that’s what i’m against. This encourages what open source users should be against.

If you want to completely block them you can. There’s more info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracking-protection

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
