>Looks like the settings let you block all third-party cookies and add exceptions for specific sites, which seems a bit awkward but could be made to work.

The fear over blocking third party cookies breaking stuff is severely overstated. I have it disabled by default and I don't think I've ever seen any website breakages. The most is office365 nagging me to click on links so it can authenticate across domains.

I think that if they don’t block by default, is quite significant. Chrome + Edge has superior marketshare and then add the % people who have no idea what these mean and don’t change defaults.

I was going to say, wasn't this supposed to be the default in Chrome by now? But Google reneged on it two years back:

This disgusts me more than any of their recent news. There needs to be a lot more pressure on them to phase this out.

Maybe this article will be the small snowball that gets that started...

> Google Chrome doesn't block third-party cookies by default, only in Incognito mode

And the focus on cookies only is also intentionally misleading. Tracking is not just cookies. Chrome will track you in Incognito mode.
