However, please keep in mind that this is a pre-release version not intended for production use as it may lead to data loss.
… “Production”? “Data loss”? It’s a browser.
Cookies are used for storing data, fwiw.
Are you joking? A lot of people do most of their work in browsers these days. Having cookies suddenly misbehave can lead to severe data loss.
Fair enough!
People use web browsers to do their job. Which requires data storage.
Wasn’t blocking of third-party cookies already an option for quite some time now? What’s different with this version that it’s mentioned as a new feature?
CHIPS is a new way that cookies can work. The difference is that 3rd party cookies are opt-in for the browser, not opt-out, which is better
That makes sense and sounds better.
They worded it as “support for blocking third-party cookies” which sounds like reframing the system that was already in place as something new, rather than something actually new.
I would love to know too, it seems like every month for at least a year now I read that “the new Firefox release blocks third party cookies”
