Here is what I think is happening. Google blocks certain third party tracking cookies by default in chrome. They said theyll make a list to distinguish between what they call good and bad cookies. Also they'll add built in tracking for Google into chrome.
With chrome being the most used browser by far they can use that to sell white list slots on their list or access to the built in tracking. I assume that's what they are after.
Like how they distinguish between malware and non malware ads on YouTube? If that's the "Protection" they're offering then I'll gladly pass on it.
