As part of its war on web tracking, Mozilla is adding a new tool to Firefox aimed at stopping cookies from keeping tabs on you across multiple sites. The "Total Cookie Protection" feature is included in the web browser's latest release — alongside multiple picture-in-picture views (more on that below) — and essentially works by keeping cookies isolated between each site you visit. Or, in Mozilla's words: "By creating a separate cookie jar for every website."

Google is also working on a plan to kill off third-party cookie tracking on its Chrome web browser as part of its Privacy Sandbox project, an initiative that seeks to allow personalized ads while limiting individually identifying data.

Firefox's new feature pares with last month's network partitioning tool, which works by splitting the Firefox browser cache on a per-website basis to prevent tracking across the web, itself targeted at blocking more stubborn "supercookies." According to Mozilla, these types of cookies are more difficult to delete and block as they are stored in obscure parts of the browser, including in Flash storage, ETags, and HSTS flags. Both tools are available as part of Firefox's enhanced tracking protection suite in "strict mode" on desktop and Android.

It is not very easy to spot by untrained eye - but this is part of total control and censorship war. Plus hundreds of billions of more income for big guys who control all major browsers.

Let me explain - now small and medium sites get only around 10-35% of income from ads (mostly thanks for Google) and this number constantly drops, especially for small guys. Hence we see more and more unnecessary ads.

Most income comes from referrals and selling personal data and tracking data.

Tech giants want to cut large part of this income and such way force small and medium guys to place even more ads. In same time all sites that will considered unnecessary will be silently killed by lower ranking (as Google do with forums now) and by simple economic reasons.

GDPR also hit smallest sites most - as they have worst aka default large popups, they also needed to spend time on doing this shit. But large sites are quite happy with it as it did not change anything for them - instead it made it look nice and legal.

Singapore-based semiconductor packaging equipment vendor K&S has seen strong influx of orders for wire bonders for logic ICs and memory chips with delivery lead times extending to 6-9 months, and is optimistic that equipment demand for miniLED backlight applications may grow exponentially starting in 2021.

Cheam estimates that miniLED applications will see exponential increases this year, as more brand vendors are moving to apply miniLED backlighting technology to a variety of devices including notebooks, tablets, desktops and TVs.

Not bad, but remember - almost all manufacturers will be selecting cheapest led chips and made worst cooling possible (now around 90% of TVs failure is due to horrible led backlight cooling).

Google is accused of relying on pieces of its code within websites that use its analytics and advertising services to scrape users’ supposedly private browsing history and send copies of it to Google’s servers. Google makes it seem like private browsing mode gives users more control of their data, Amanda Bonn, a lawyer representing users, told Koh. In reality, “Google is saying there’s basically very little you can do to prevent us from collecting your data, and that’s what you should assume we’re doing,” Bonn said.

Andrew Schapiro, a lawyer for Google, argued the company’s privacy policy “expressly discloses” its practices. “The data collection at issue is disclosed,” he said.Another lawyer for Google, Stephen Broome, said website owners who contract with the company to use its analytics or other services are well aware of the data collection described in the suit.

So, Chrome specially let their tools track you adding the into secret white list, but not any competitor or site author. Typical monopoly thing.
