MODERATORS
Everyone hated it from GDPR countries to other Chromium developers to the EFF, so Google did what they do and released something that may be worse.
The only way to opt out from the new bs is to have a Google account, expect more GDPR sanctions.
Then Google fucked its cold and dead body to resurrect it as the abomination named Topics API.
The next question is whether they'll be evil enough to try the same with the web environment integrity thing. We know you're thinking about it, Google. Drop the Staff of Dread Zombies and back away from the corpse before somebody gets hurt.
try? the WEI code functionality already was pushed in chromium/chrome since 2022
Some test code made it in before they stopped it due to the public reaction, but it was never functional in mainline chrome.
It's live in Google Chrome now and is called "privacy sandbox".
