Found this article.

Google said in the blog post:

“Keeping the internet open and accessible for everyone requires all of us to do more to protect privacy — and that means an end to not only third-party cookies, but also any technology used for tracking individual people as they browse the web.”

Too late to do that as a lot of people, worth thousands of their daily users left for better alternatives - see DuckDuckGo, etc.
I'll never use any of Google's products again, no mater what they do.

Oh yeah, I use Google on a special VPN for porn and dumb accounts, I love feeding them with shit and crap that is unrelated.
 
They still track people through Chrome browser (even if you use private tabs), Google accounts, search engine ... etc...
 
More like a panic decision, people in large groups have already learnt and moved to ddg or brave browser, i am personally using brave on mobile and laptop
 
I'd rather be tracked by Google than the scumbag Facebook because at least Google provides beneficial and necessary tools for most internet users.

Whereas Facebook is just a another social media platform. Nothing extraordinary about it.

I hope that a new social media platform will emerge and directly compete with Facebook and kick their monopolistic ass

Did Google hurt you :/
 
I made a post about this a couple weeks ago. Just because Google phases out third-party cookies in Chrome, tracking will still be possible. Fun fact: Safari limits third-party cookies since 2017 and third-party cookies are disabled in Firefox by default for more than a year now.

I don't want to type the whole post again about how tracking will still be possible and how FB circumvented this block in 2017 on Safari, so here's the post: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/micro-niche-site-but-with-ecom.1303103/#post-14050227

Panic decision?

The present market share of DuckDuckGo is 0.64%, below Yandex, on mobile it's below half percent. The market share of Brave is 0.05%, doesn't worth to measure. The market share of Google on the search market is 92%, on mobile it's 95%. Google owns 2/3rd of the browser market, only Edge seems to be gaining some momentum, Firefox is on a steady decline only God knows since when, Safari and Opera doesn't really move anywhere. Where are the large groups of people migrated from Google to any those?

Many people would like to see Google fail, but in fact there's no imminent threat to their hegemony.

Ever heard about nokia how it controlled 90 percent mobile, before that motorola, or orkut or myspace or metacafe,market share are just number and has no compulsion on users, google has learned it and applying it before it losses the game
 
WTF! What happened to Google all of a sudden? :eek:
So, next Google master plan: Sell cookies and local storage/session storage data to third party? :p

Market share in itself might not reveal the whole picture, trends on the other hand, do. What are the trends you see, which makes you say, that Google is losing the game? Where do you see any downward trend? If anything, there's an upward trend. It's recent news that Chrome OS was getting the second place after Windows on the desktop OS market, outselling macOS devices by two-to-one in Q4 2020.

Google owns a sizeable chunk of the online space. They don't just own the desktop and mobile search market and the browser market, but they own the biggest portion of the mobile OS and app market (Android, Google Play), the ad market (Adsense, Adwords, AdMob), they have Youtube, Gmail, Blogger, Google Trends, Google Analytics, Google My Business, Google Images, Google Docs/Sheets, Google Voice, Google Chat/Hangouts/Meet, Google Maps, Street View, Google Pay, Google Translate, Google Photos, Google Cloud, Google One, Google Drive, Google Fiber, Google Home, Google Nest, Chromecast, Google Fit, Wear OS, Android Auto, Android TV, Chrome OS, Google Pixel, Stadia, reCAPTCHA, a plethora of dev tools and the list goes on with more than 100 of their products total. Many of these brands are leaders in their own category.

Nokia and none of the other companies you listed, was anywhere near as big and diversified as Google is now. There's no point in comparing those to Google, it's a whole different league. Nokia was/is a mobile phone manufacturer, telecom company and nothing more (ok, they made some CRT monitors too), Orkut and Myspace were social platforms and nothing more, Metacafe is a video platform and nothing more. Fun fact: Orkut was owned by Google in its later years. Google and social media is not the best mix apparently, apart from Orkut, Google discontinued Google Wave, Google Buzz and Google+ too. Nevertheless, Google is standing on so many strong legs now, no company ever came close to this.

You can hope of course, but the status quo isn't going to change anytime soon. With the sheer amount of data and information in Google's possession, they aren't in the position to lose. You wouldn't want to stand on one leg until they do.
 
They don't need cookies if y'all still using chrome to deliver them all your data.
 
Google getting rid of third party cookies while working on proposals like FLEDGE, developing the trust token API, and tracking all chrome users via X-Client-Data. Combine all of that with traditional fingerprinting which will be conveniently left out of these changes.

If Google wanted to be evil, they'd tie FLEDGE and trust tokens together. Blocking ads? Guess you don't want to be trusted on the web. Best case scenario you get fucked by captchas, worst case, completely blocked.
 
and that means an end to not only third-party cookies, but also any technology used for tracking individual people as they browse the web

This just looks like they are stopping anyone else other than Google using them
