Ah, now _that_ makes sense why this go published then. Glad to see that common sense prevailed. The day may come when all the use cases for third-party cookies that aren't "track Joe Regular all around the web" can be satisfied with other widely available web features, but until we have all those features I think taking a page from Linus' book and ensuring "we don't break userland" is important (and something I've always loved about the web and I'm glad to see it continuing).

Which use cases? I use Brave, which has a built in toggle to disable 3rd party cookies, which I have set to default, and at least my experience of 'the entire internet' works fine.
embedded iframes that need to authenticate logins but don't trust the parent domain to store the login data there is a problem. You can somewhat work around it with the Storage Access API if that browser supports it (brave doesn't), but it does mean every embed requires a click by the user first before it works properly
Same here, but other browsers. I’ve had zero issues since well before the dot com crash.
