I think hexbear has them. Is it a connection thing where cookies spot other cookies? Do tracking cookies matter when it comes to insurance and therapy sites/apps? I'm thinking about therapy that I saw advertised on YouTube, and I bet they're somehow sketchy. And their app requires the use of third party tracking and cookies.

I just don't want these sites/apps to see I'm a communist.

No you're right, but thats also how tracking cookies would work, including a request back to facebook, or an ad network, or whatever. So that is what firefox is blocking, by partitioning cookies by what site you are actually on, not just what site a request is going to.

Chrome is finally slowly rolling out something similar this year (like they made a big fuss about rolling it out to 1% of users)

So basically we both understood everything from the start but were bad at communicating it?

sounds about right 😅
