Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all desktop users worldwide | It is Firefox’s strongest privacy protection to date, confining cookies to the site where they were created

Get fucked, advertisers.

For those who don't care to read the full article:

This basically just confines any cookies generated on a page, to just that page.

So, instead of a cookie from, say, Facebook, being stored on site A, then requested for tracking purposes on site B, each individual site would be sent its own separate Facebook cookie, that only gets used on that site, preventing it from tracking you anywhere outside of the specific site you got it from in the first place.

I think this tips it over the edge for me to switch to Firefox

Aren’t cookies already limited to the site at which they were created??

What the fuck? You mean to tell me sites have been sharing cookies?

I thought all browsers only delivered cookies back to the same site.

Why are we posting 2 year old articles as though they are new?

Does this make containers unnecessary? Or basically built in?

Good to see Firefox still has value to provide

Is this different from blocking 3rd party cookies?

Mozilla completes what Google was too afraid to finish.

Is this the reason why I have to "confirm it's you" every time I sign into a Google service now? I appreciate the fact that Firefox's protection is so good that Google doesn't recognize my PC anymore, but it's extremely annoying to have to pull out my phone every time I want to watch YouTube.

This might be what finally convinces me to ditch Google for good. Good job, Firefox devs.

ah yes, the other TCP

This is old news, from 2022!!

I wonder how long until all the distros have this.

Starting in what versions?

Forgive me if this is an overly simplistic view but if the ads with cookies are all served on Google's platform say then would all those ads have access to the Google cookie jar?

If they don't now then you can bet they are working on just that.

I'm curious how this will affect OAuth (if at all). Does it use an offsite cookie to remember the session, or is that only created after it redirects back to the site that initiated the login?

Permanently Deleted

It baffles me that this was ever not the case.

Such a chad move. Respect!

Take that, cookie monsters!

Alright fine ill switch browsers AGAIN

Does this stop me from adding to my website an iframe to facebook where facebook can keep its cookies for my user? That would be great but I doubt it.

They call it TCP. All we need now is IP, and we'll be set lol

Does making it the default also set it on my already-downloaded Firefox or only to new downloads? Just to know if I'll have to manually set it.

Maybe they should try to develop the uBlock Origin extension with the dev to make it last more.

Well, now how am I supposed to cross reference my need of fuzzy slippers and woodworking stuff?!

Yes we are going to enable this feature that is going to be irrelevant in the future, because where building an API in the browser to fetch browser History...

Yeah maybe 10 years late...

making Firefox the most private and secure major browser

If calling home and to selected 3rd party analytics aren't part of the metric then yes, Firefox might be the most private. What proof, even they say they've telemetry.

Here's all the domain Firefox uses for telemetry: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MrRawes/firefox-hosts/firefox-hosts/hosts

So much for privacy.

Just move to LibreWolf.

Chrome, I'm looking at you. When are you getting it?

Very good! Please remove anonym/PPA, DoH to cloudflare, Google search, telemetry, and pocket next, and I'll make a consideration to stop calling your browser malware!

Let me guess, itll still let websites see a list connected microphones and cameras with zero user interaction?
