What's going on with major changes to privacy on Chrome? (lemmy.world)

What changes are they making, and how to prevent them affecting users?

Also, does Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, or a VPN with ad-blocking and anti-tracking prevent the new data collection through Chrome?

Apple never let them in to begin with. If Chrome turned off third-party cookies for all users today, Facebook (among others) would sue and probably win.

Which feels like one of those things that's technically legal, but against the spirit of the original law
