      unless theres meaningful competition

      late stage capitalism is all about giant corporations merging and becoming monopolists

        And that lacks competition, so no wonder that it sucks

        Those exist but then that’s not competition anymore, its a cartel. If those were abolished it would be better.

        Competition that is meaningful. Like if you produce bottled water, and you lower the quality of it (like, idk maybe theres stuff floating inside) so its cheaper to make, people will notice and switch to an alternative. And when the alternative tries something similar, they’ll switch back to you. Regulation can also help with this but at the same time it increases the barrier to entry for new players, lowering competition. I think.

  Google is really damned if they do, damned if they don’t here. Third party cookies are very privacy invasive, but replacing it with Chrome watching everything you do and acting as an ad broker is also not great. As long as Google is providing targeted advertising (which you could opt out of in privacy sandbox) then there’s not a really great solution.

  I do think they dragged this along enough that all sites now operate properly with third party cookies disabled, so that’s a benefit at least.
