I wonder how Brave and Microsoft Edge will handle this change. Are they also going to ship this "feature"?

Everything I'm seeing is that it is Chrome doing this, not Chromium. If the Googs decides to add features on top of Chromium in its Chrome release, that does not mean that other Chromium based browsers will have those changes automatically as well. It totally makes sense to me that Googs would not want these in the base Chromium as it's the secret sauce just for the Googs

I would think Google would want this in Brave and Edge also. Google will want to advertise to the users of these browsers even though they aren't using Chrome.

Then why are the articles not saying Chromium and specifying Chrome? Has Chrome become the new Kleenex/Xerox/Rollerblade?

Most people reading articles have no idea what Chromium is and how it differs from Chrome.

The code for it is included with Chromium. Responsibly phasing out 3rd party cookies is important for the whole ecosystem.

Microsoft will probably redirect it to their own servers. Brave will probably disable it. It's not hard.

Right now third-party cookies are blocked in Brave, so they'll probably also block this as well, but it remains to be seen. (I avoid Edge)

Microsoft has much more data about you, that just what can be gleamed from the browser.

It doesn't matter if edge does not have this "feature".

Microsoft can simply scan documents on your PC.

Jokes on you, I don’t use Windows
