  What does this even mean?

  There’s an opt-out check box buried 4 clicks deep in Chrome settings. The choices are “Allow 3rd party Cookies” and “Ask me later”.

    It should reset every time the browser is closed and/or daily to respect the, uh, dynamics of the modern consumer.

      And sadly Mozilla is doing the same with the Privacy-Preserving Attribution.

  Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. #

  despite their issues

  What issues?

    Edited to clarify which one I was referring to.

    The definition of issue here changes significantly from person to person, from some disliking Firefox’s visual design to others criticizing business and technological decisions by Mozilla.

    Honestly, there’s nothing I feel like bringing up and starting another discussion over. I mostly added that to stop certain folks from cleverly answering “but what about <issue>!” As if that wasn’t taken into account from the start.

    Pages blocking you because you block their cookies

      That’s not an issue inherent to Firefox and anyone that cares enough to block cookies usually has the know-how of how to re-enable them for a specific page.

        Total cookie protection can have site breakage, even for very casual users. And it is enabled by default. That beeing said it is easy to stop for a site. And quite rare. Total cookie protection is a very nice fix for the cookie tracking issue imho.
