Right, and that's exactly how IE/Edge is the one globally dominant browser it is today. Oh no, wait, that's the very standards compliant Chrome

    Wow, you really got me there. I had no idea that IE was no longer the dominant browser by usershare. That 13-year stretch of singular dominance may as well have never happened at all since it didn't literally last forever 🙄

    And... yes, Chrome is very standards compliant, isn't it? Isn't it great how they publish excellent standards like FLoC & Manifest V3 without any regard for pushback from external vendors & web engineers? It's a very not evil thing that they're doing with their very not entrenched product.

    Yes, google, the beacon of privacy, has decided to cancel FLoC. See? Google is actually listening to the web community's plea. What's that in the latest version of Chrome just released globally a few weeks ago? Ad Topics? No, it's totally unrelated to FLoC, no need to worry about that, for realsies!

    Google argues that it is mandatory that it builds a user tracking and advertising system into Chrome, and the company says it won't block third-party cookies until it accomplishes that.

    The internet is saved thanks to Google's commitment to pushing forward with new standards
